Yes, that is for importing a file. Importing means to take a document that is not a .lyx file and convert it to a .lyx file. What you want to do is that you would like to *insert* a .lyx file at a specific position (the end) of a separate .lyx document. I know it sounds similar, but actually it's a completely different operation. And in the years that I have been on this list, it is the first time that I have ever seen someone want the command-line behavior you describe. Of course, what you want to do is completely reasonable. I am just defending that LyX does not have a specific option to do what you want because it is not that common. The good news is that if you do go through the trouble of following the steps that I outlined, you will learn about LyX functions, and this will give you a way to automate sequences of actions in LyX, create custom shortcuts, and will give you a deeper understanding of LyX and how to take advantage of some of its more powerful functionality. If you plan on using LyX for more than a couple of months, my opinions it that the investment of time will pay off. Best of luck whatever you decide! Scott
