The subject says it all. I'm looking to do something that'll look like

The three }s should be replaced by one big curly bracket. I have tried
doing this using a Maths environment, but I could never convince it to
work...
It can be done with math:
1. Control+M to start math
2. insert delimiters from the math panel, this brings up
a dialog.
3. Select } as the right delimiter, and "blank" as the left
delimiter. (Your example didn't want a left brace.)
4. Insert this.
5. Now you want three lines, so insert a 1x3 matrix inside the brace.
Make sure you select the correct alignment. "c" for centering
is default, maybe you want "r" for right or "l" for left instead.
6. Now you have three lines to write "blah" on. Those lines are
math, but it is possible to change the font so that the final
output looks just like text. (This text-in-math mode is somewhat
limited. It looks ok, but I don't think you can have multiple
paragraphs, tables and so on there.)
I tried this in the lyx-1.4 prerelease, and crashed it. There are
clearly reasons why it isn't released. Lyx 1.3 should
fare better.
