Then emailed them as an attachment and later picked it up on my Linux Debian Lenny machine and tried to open it with LyX 1.5.5 It wouldn't open but gave me the wrong version error message. So I can't tell you what went wrong, it didn't and wouldn't show anything but the error message, and when that was clicked off, just an empty LyX screen with LYX on it? So sorry, I can't give you some more details about _what_ fails, because I don't know. The error message was nothing more than that. I just know it doesn't work for me. But I have done as stated above and changed the lines and that does work. I know - it doesn't help - it just works and the documents I have done this with, I am still working on and they are fine. It would appear that one way [the right way?] works for you and another works for me and some other people?
