Please do not confuse novices with XeTeX.

LyX can export to a number of formats from the File pulldown, PDF being
the most common with several choices LuaTeX being probably the most
common.

There is also DVI, if really necessary, and of course LaTeX. Hoeevr you
would only export to LaTeX usually if you need to debug the LaTeX code,
not for day to day use.

The files reside in the same directory as the LyX and if you export
repeatedly (after changes) it'll ask for overwrite.

And, there is a really well designed help system for perusal :-)-O

greetings, el
