Hi,

Using lyx 1.3.4, if I Insert->External Material...->Date, and then supply the 
either of the strings
+%B %d, %Y
or
'+%B %d, %Y'
in the "Parameters" field, then click "View Result," I get the error 

date: too many non-option arguments: %d, ...

whereas the command

date '+%B %d, %Y'

works from the command line. Am I specifying the strings and/or quoting 
incorrectly?
