As far as I know the LyX algorithm is not related to algorithm.sty; it is more like an environment which, like verbatim, obeys user typed spaces, but, unlike verbatim, also allows math, boldface, etc...
One thing that bites many users: when exporting to Latex, LyX inserts empty lines between two lines in the algorithm environment. If I recall correctly this can be avoided by using ctrl-enter to go to a new line inside the algorithm environment.
I normally use an external package (e.g. listings.sty if you want to typeset code) and insert everything with ert.

I am writing a paper in article (AMS) and need to typeset some algorithms. I see that there is an algorithm environmnent defined. I am sorry if I have missed them but are there any docs for using this environment in lyx? It is not clear to me what the correct way to do the indentation etc is.
Cheers, Raphael
