Absolute paths! But it still does not work.

Well I opened a new document typed in a line of text and saved it. Somewhere along that line I checked the LyX's View -->Tex Information and got the lists. I still get an error message if I reopen the document. > Also when I ran that C:~.\sh.exe configure it tampered with my LyX configuration and I received an error > message: "LyX wasn't able to find any layout description! > Check the contents of the file "textclass.lst" Sorry, has > to exit." I thought you were reporting a similar error. No not at all. I cannot even get the sh.exe to work > Anyway easy enough to fix.

No I am getting a failure on that. See my later posting on that. I seem to be having a problem getting GSview to write to the registry. > You ran from LyX, Edit --> Reconfigure ? after putting c:\ghostgum\gsview in the > Lyx path prefix? You need both ghostgum and ghostscript. I saw Paul question this also: No since I never got gsview to install. > > >>You're seeing them in LyX via View->TeX Information?

Yes they are there. The 10 were just the ones in one subdir. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for the dir > dir.txt advice. __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca
