On the Mac installation, they get buried inside of the app package. Find LyX.app in your applications folder Right click on it and select "show package contents" The go to Contents -> Resources -> examples It might be a good idea to copy the folder to somewhere more convenient outside of the app if you are going to use them often. hope that helps Steve
