I have heard of LyX (and the somehow related TEX and
LaTEX). I am attracted by the openness and
cross-platformness (to coin a word) of its ASCII-based
format, while being simultaneously repulsed by the
thought of having to learn a page layout language.

What are your experiences with LyX? Is there a Mac OS
X incarnation you can recommend that I can play with
until I fix my YDL Wallstreet PowerBook? Is there a
tutorial that an old guy can comprehend?

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Clint
