Currently, \fBLyX\fR uses the XForms library as a toolkit. \fBLyX\fR
should run everywhere, where XForms runs. This is on all major Unix
-platforms as well as some PC platforms, including Sun, SGI, HP, DEC
-Alpha/OSF, IBM RS6000, Convex, Cray, i386/Linux, Alpha/Linux,

i386/FreeBSD, i386/NetBSD, DecSystem(mips)/Ultrix, OS/2 with XFree or
PMX and others.

.SH OPTIONS
\fBLyX\fR supports the following command-line switches, which can also
be specified as X resources (e. g. in .Xdefaults) with class
.BI \-help
summarizes LyX usage
.TP
+.BI \-version
+provides version information on the build of LyX.
+.TP
.BI \-sysdir " directory"
sets system directory. Normally not needed.
.TP
sets user directory. Needed if you want to use LyX with different lyxrc
settings.
.TP
-.BI \-width " x"
-the width of the main window in \fBLyX\fR.
-.TP
-.BI \-height " y"
-the height of the main window in \fBLyX\fR.
-.TP
-.BI \-xpos " x"
-the x position of the main window in \fBLyX\fR.
-.TP
-.BI \-ypos " y"
-the y position of the main window in \fBLyX\fR.
-Notice, you have to specify both
-.BI \-xpos
-and
-.BI \-ypos
-to obtain the
-desired effect. Negative positions are ignored. If no valid position
-is given, the main window is centered.
+.BI \-geometry " WxH+X+Y"
+specifies the preferred size and position of the main \fBLyX\fR window; see \fIX(1)\fR.
.TP
.BI \-dbg " feature[,feature...]"
where feature is a name or number.
Use "\fBlyx -dbg\fR" to see the list of available debug features.
.TP
-.BI \-Reverse
-swaps foreground and background colors.
-.TP
-.BI \-Mono
-runs \fBLyX\fR in black and white mode.
-.TP
-.BI \-FastSelection
-uses a fast black and white drawing routine for selections. If you use
-this, the switches BackgroundColor and SelectionColor are ignored.
-.PP
-The following options can be used to define the colors to use for
-different things:
-.TP
-.BI \-MathColor " color"
-.TP
-.BI \-MathFrameColor " color"
-.TP
-.BI \-FootColor " color"
-.TP
-.BI \-LabelColor " color"
+\fB -x [--execute]\fP \fIcommand
+where command is a lyx command.
.TP
-.BI \-FillColor " color"
+\fB -e [--export]\fP \fIfmt
+where fmt is the export format of choice.
.TP
-.BI \-NewLineColor " color"
-.TP
-.BI \-OnOffLineColor " color"

-.BI \-BackgroundColor " color"
-.TP
-.BI \-SelectionColor " color"
+\fB -i [--import]\fP \fIfmt file.xxx
+where fmt is the import format of choice and file.xxx is the file to be imported.
+
.PP
Furthermore, \fBLyX\fR understands the following generic command line options
from the \fBForms Library\fR:
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)
-
.TP
.B LYX_USERDIR_11x
can be used to specify which user directory to use.
.PP
The user directory is, in order of precedence:
.br
-1) -usedir command line parameter
+1) -userdir command line parameter
.br
2) LYX_USERDIR_11x environment variable
.br
.B LYX_LOCALEDIR
can be used to tell LyX where to look for the translations of its GUI
strings in other languages.

.SH FILES
.nf
.ta \w'\fILIBDIR\fR/lyxrc.in 'u
.I LIBDIR
is the system directory. This is usually /usr/local/share/lyx on UNIX and %X11ROOT%\\XFree86\\lib\\X11\\lyx on OS/2 with XFree.

.SH BUGS/LIMITATIONS
There are probably still some bugs in \fBLyX\fR. Please report them to
-lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org with detailed info, including which version of \fBLyX\fR
-you use. Consult the "Known Bugs" item under the Help menu first if possible.

+Introduction (accessible from the Help menu in LyX) first if possible.
-\fBLaTeX\fR import is still not perfect and may produce buggy *.lyx files. Consult the \fBreLyX\fR documentation.

.B Remedy:
1) In filenames use only A-Z, a-z, 1-9.
2) Install a recent \fBLaTeX\fR package inputenc.sty. Select Layout->Document->encoding:latin1, so that \fBreLyX\fR adds the \fBLaTeX\fR command '\\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}'.
-\fBLyX\fR server has some limitations under OS/2: See Help->Customization for details.
