Rob S I'm pretty sure that, possibly among other things, those are the lists you see when you click View -> TeX information in LyX. So what *do* you see there? If you get a list of class/style/bst files, then presumably there are non-empty .lst files lurking somewhere. If those lists are empty, then what happens when you insert a bibliography and try to select the BiBTeX style from the drop-down list? FYI, my document root (Win XP) has three non-empty .lst files in it. -- Paul
Re: lyxpipe and BibTeX in Windows XP
Jonathan; I get a message box saying 'Windows cannot open this file: TeXFiles.sh ... What do you want to do? () Use the Web service to find the appropriate program () Select the program from a list'. I can't find an appropriate program for TeXFiles.sh. After the message box I get a BibTeX-Qt dialog which allows me to add the *.bib file I created in JabRef and to select a bibliography style. To get this working and also to be able to View>>Tex information you need to: 1. Associate your .sh files with sh.exe (..\lyx\bin) Possibly not needed but doing so works! 2. Install GnuWin32 findutils.exe (the package setup) from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm 3. Ensure the GnuWin32\bin directory is in you system PATH ahead of any Windows File Rob S with thanks to Jean-Marc and Paul Rubin for their help on this one. I'll also add a note to the Wiki.

Use the Web service to find the appropriate program () Select the program from a list'. I can't find an appropriate program for TeXFiles.sh. After the message box I get a Ok, this will hide it. When the prompt appears to open with Browse to /lyx/bin and select sh.exe check the always use.. box I hope that won't upset other .sh files! Can someone correct this if need be. This method associates .sh files with sh.exe. BTW This does not solve the error, just hides it! Also, if someone can explain what TeXFiles.sh is intended to do since on windows XP it fails at line 1. (Herbert or Jean-Marc perhaps). I note no trouble without it though. Rob S
