Thank you Paul very much for the suggestion. It caused me to think that something might be wrong with permissions. So I opened lyx in root and the top tool bar shows. It only doesn't show when I open it on a regular, non-root command line or from the lyx icon.
I am not sure where the system menu is. Lyx can be used without the top menu bar but it will only print to one pdf version. John On Wednesday, December 21, 2022 11:09:52 AM PST Paul A.
