... except that, for a Mac user, doing that requires to find the lyx binary.
From the top of my head, it is at
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOSX/lyx
Thanks for the correction. Why doesn't the PATH environment variable
take care of this?
Because Mac applications are not supposed to be run from the command
line. If I want to open a lyx file from the command line, I do "open
myfile.lyx".
OSX programs are of two kinds: the usual unixy commands, and the
OSX-type, where each application is actually a folder containing the
binary and all its resources. This is great because it allows to install
an application by drag and drop. By default, the Finder hides this and
the application folder looks like a plain executable on which one can
double-click to launch LyX.
