I got it working!!!

When I get the portal message the lyx window obscures another window.  
It is the "Portal" that I wrote about before and it very similar to a 
file manager window.  I can use it, instead of the file manager, to 
choose the lyx files to open and it works fine. Thereafter, I can use 
"open recent files to get what I want.

This is all new to me.

Thank you everyone for reading this stuff.

Joe
