Your missing the point. LyX macros are currently defined globally. That means that if you define a macro in one document and then open another, it will appear as if the macro works in the second doc. It doesn't, of course, because the macro is not exported to the latex, nor is it saved as part of the second doc. Further, if you have two macros "foo", one in each doc, then one will be obscured by the other. Totally broken. -- Angus
