Thanks, David and Mark. No, actually I'm referring to the appearance *both* on the monitor and on the printout.My earlier attempt, done hurriedly for the first book I edited, didn't work.But thanks to you guys, I think I've got it this time. What needs to be done is to use the ``quotes" .. and it works fine. The " quotes (close quotes) might need to be replaced, because plain-text doesn't render it exactly as would the key to the very far right on the middle row does in Lyx.
I'm still confused. In order to get "plain" quotes in LyX you would use Ctrl-", which would be used, say, in ERT to get accented characters, such as \"{a} for an a with an umlaut. Maybe your keyboard has another key with those quotes defined that way, or maybe, if you converted a file from another format, the quotes got converted that way.
Here is a file with examples of quotes. For the correctly typeset ones, I just type ". Lyx converts the strings as you see, by converting the " to `` or '' depending upon position, which then TeX understands.
