I only need to think a bit about how to do this best.
I think it should be done by a lyxrc switch.
\latex_mode {standard|pdf}
\prog_pfdlatex string (default pdflatex)
\pdf_viewer string (default xpdf or acroread)
Some in the File menus need to change and File-Export.
We also must check for pdflatex in configure and check for
fontencoding LY1 which is preferred with PDF and also check for some
of the packages that is advised to be used together with PDF, url.sty
and hyperref.sty and some fontpackages.

The minibuffer is the bottom line of the LyX window, where messages appear (e.g. shortcuts associated to a menu command). It can be used to input commands, the keystrokes to come into command input mode are M-x (bound to command command-execute, see section 3.3.4 of the reference). To create a macro, say foo: M-x (you get the cursor in the minibuffer) math-macro foo (you get a tag in the LyX window which toggles in mathed) type in the math macro call it with \foo in mathed (the mathed look is substituted in the LyX window, but the code remains \foo, so that any change in the macro is exported everywhere in the document). Similar use when parameters are meeded (see section 5.5). Regards -- Jean-Pierre
New SUSE RPMS of lyx-1.1.2
Hi folks, There are new SUSE RPMs of lyx-1.1.2 available in my ftp directory at ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx/SUSE I don't know who to thank for these, since I stupidly deleted his Email. Thanks, whoever did these RPMs, please speak up and claim credit. :-) ---Kayvan -- Kayvan Aghaiepour Sylvan | Proud husband of | Father to my kids: Sylvan Associates, Inc.| Laura Isabella Sylvan | Katherine Yelena http://www.successlinks.com/kayvan | Reach your goals now! | Robin Gregory
