.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBLyX\fR is too complex to be described completely in the "man" page
\fBLyX\fR is a document preparation system. It excels at letting you
create complex technical and scientific articles with mathematics,
-cross-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
+cross\-references, bibliographies, indices, etc. It is very good at
documents of any length in which the usual processing abilities are
required: automatic sectioning and pagination, spellchecking, and so
forth. It can also be used to write a letter to your mom, though
Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses either the XForms or Qt library as a
toolkit. \fBLyX\fR should run everywhere, where these libraries run.
-This is on all major Unix platforms as well as Windows, Mac OS X
-(which actually is a unix platform) and OS/2.

-.B LYX_DIR_14x
+.B LYX_DIR_15x
can be used to specify which system directory to use.
.PP
The system directory is determined by searching for the file
"chkconfig.ltx". Directories are searched in this order:
.br
-1) -sysdir command line parameter
+1) \-sysdir command line parameter
.br
-2) LYX_DIR_14x environment variable
+2) LYX_DIR_15x environment variable
.br
3) Maybe <path of binary>/TOP_SRCDIR/lib
.br
4) <path of binary>/../share/<name of binary>/
.br
-5) hardcoded lyx_dir (usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX and %X11ROOT%\\XFree86\\lib\\X11\\lyx on OS/2 with XFree)
+5) hardcoded lyx_dir (usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX)
.TP
-.B LYX_USERDIR_14x

can be used to specify which user directory to use.
.PP
The user directory is, in order of precedence:
.br
-1) -userdir command line parameter
+1) \-userdir command line parameter
