Generally speaking you are right. The problem is that the package is developed very closely with the document (actually I'm implementing what I need as I go). By default LaTeX searches first the local directory, then the local texmf dir and last the different site wide ones. I'm looking for a way to keep the LyX file and the package together, if possible. > Note that if this really is a document class, rather than a package, > you'll need to make the extension .cls, you'll need to kludge together a > LyX layout file for it, and you'll need to reconfigure LyX to find the > layout (*after* you've done step 2).

Actually, I haven't decided yet whether to write only a package to override the document styles and tweak them as required, or to make it a complete new document class, hence my confusion with relating to it. Thanks, Guy
