Hi all,

My Story environment seems to work, and that's great news because almost all 
my custom environments will be similar. This was created by cannibalizing 
Herbert's LyX-Code-Layout at the top of Herbert's lyx/layouts/layouts.html 
page, and some code in Herbert's lyx/layouts/myClass.inc file.

But some questions remain. Why is it necessary to bring up lists and items? 
In fact it must be necessary because when they were taken out the Environment 
margins were no longer controllable, but aren't lists and items for bulleted 
lists and the like? This environment has nothing to do with bulleted lists.

My other question is how to place a centered title for the story. Would this 
be a label? I might put some of these environments in a framebox, so the 
title and the text must be together.

Anyway, here's the Story environment:

Style Story
  LatexType             Environment
  LatexName             story_l
  Align                 Left
  AlignPossible         Left
  LeftMargin            "MMMMM"
  RightMargin           "MMMMM"
  ParSkip               0.7
  ParSep                0.7
  TopSep                0.7
  BottomSep             0.7

  Font
    Shape               Italic
  EndFont
  Preamble
        \newlength{\storyIndent}
        \setlength{\storyIndent}{\leftmargin}
        \addtolength{\storyIndent}{1cm}
        \newenvironment{story_l}
                {
                \begin{list}{} {
                        \setlength{\leftmargin}{\storyIndent}
                        \setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}
                        \setlength{\parsep}{1cm}
                        \itshape
                }
                \item[]
        } {
                \end{list}
        }
  EndPreamble
End

Thanks

Steve
