Hello - I have a rather circuitous issue. I'm a grad student. My advisor is generally a word guy but has agreed to use LyX at my request. He's followed the installation instructions multiple times (I've watched). However, when he double-clicks on the LyX listing in the Applications folder, we see the icon fly-out (indicating to me that Mac has started the program) but it never shows up, either on the screen or in the active-apps sidebar. I would troubleshoot this myself, but I'm a Linux/Windows guy and have no knowledge of Macs.
So, where do I start? Mac OS: 10.3.9 LyX Ver: 1.6.1
