Oh a gotcha! I hate those. Still I've seen several examples of textboxes
inside math environments (for example Cases) use to change font, so it
surprises me to hear Latex should choke on that

I can assure you I didn't :-) If you're saying that I asked for X and got Y
well that's another matter altogther. I understand these things happen
occasionally even in the best software.

No matter. I think I figured out a way. You have to use a split environment
inside the eqnarray. Unf LyX doesn't seem to provide a split :-( but you can
do it by embedding TeX in there. For the \\ use Insert|Special
Character|Linebreak
