Julio -- I've now found a more LyX like way of doing Enrico's format. I start by properly creating the AMS array: * Insert->Math->AMS Insert environment * Edit->Rows & Columns->Add column * Edit->Rows & Columns->Add column Now I have the proper array. Next I fill it in: Column 1: a Column 2: =b Column 3: leave blank Column 4: \qquad\text This is my explanation To add another line I get past column 4 (I've programmed Alt+M to do that), and then press Ctrl+Enter and fill in the next four columns the same as the previous. I'll need to decide whether to type em in in LaTeX and then Ctrl+M, or to perform the preceding procedure in LyX. Either way, it looks like it works well and conforms well to the LyX environment and philosophy.
