No. You use this when you want to input raw TeX/LaTeX inline with the
WYSIAWYG parts of the document, if you wish to use the command you defined
in the preamble, you will have to do it in this raw input mode, so hit the
buton, enter your command, hit the button to go back to normal. Note that
the text you enter in the raw mode need not be complete, so you can start
and end the command with the raw mode and enter the bits in the middle in
the WYSIAWYG mode no problems.
If you have lots of complicated TeX stuff that LyX just isn't upto it can
always be put in a seperate file (edited with whatever favourite editor
you desire) and included into a LyX document.

Err, LyX gives you an immediate idea of how things will look, xemacs is a
plain old editor (well, as plain as emacsen can be considered plain), LyX
avoids having to enter TeX/LaTeX commands directly for the most part ...

I fail to see how eplain and LyX are anything alike myself - ones a
word-processor, ones a language extention.
