using .sty files

[Richard E. Hawkins Esq.]

I can't find this in the documentation, either.

I have found a sample thesis, with about 3 .sty files, that 
satisfied our dissertation office.

Do I set somethign in lyxrc to tell it where these are, and put a 

/use{isuthesis}

in the preamble?  Do I paste the entire files into the preamble?  Or do 
I somehow use them to create an entire new class of lyx document?

or do I run it through relyx, and save the result as a template?
