I set up an editor to run pdflatex on .tex files and found that the language couldn't be loaded. I then corrected the .sty syntax and I can now write LaTeX files containing IOS listings and generate correct pdf's. This is a great step forward and I thank you for your advice. However, the language drop-down list in Lyx still doesn't contain 'Cisco' and using the 'language=' parameter doesn't work either. I did reconfigure and restart Lyx. Is there a Lyx specific configuration I need to change to make this work? thanks again, Steve.
