Obviously I should have asked this question a long time ago. I am very
appreciative of Herbert's and Dekel's help. The two approaches have taught
me several things about both Lyx and Latex, which should help with other
isues when they arise as my documents mature in structure. (I learn on the
fly, since my time is limited.)
Both accomplish my objective. Dekel's is completely transparent to me, the
user, after its inclusion in the preamble, so it is the one I'll use.
Nonetheless, Herbert's suggestions have made me think again about how to
manage other things such as keeping counters from resetting themselves when
there is a break in a list. I expect something on his help page addresses
this sort of thing.
My hat's off to both of you. Many thanks! And I thank all who are keeping
Lyx running. It is a wondeful application.
