There's no general answer to this. Different packages have different 
requirements and work in completely different ways. Some packages are 
already supported through LyX modules, which are selected under 
Document> Settings> Modules. If a package isn't supported that way, then 
supporting it will involve different things depending upon what it does.


So, if you could give a specific example, we could go on from there.

Hallo everybody,

I am a new user of Lyx and have three questions:

1. I want to write down the set of positiv real numbers including 
zero, which is in mathematical language an R with a superscript (+) 
and a subscript (0). In Lyx I can write only a super- or a subscript, 
but not both. How can I write a super- and a subscript at once?


As Rich said, this is easy. Just type _ and then enter the subscript; 
then use the right arrow to exit the subscript. Then type ^ and enter 
the superscript. Note that you can get these from the toolbar, too.


Also, you can enter the usual math symbol for the reals: You can find it 
on the toolbar on the submenu headed by the upside down delta. Or you 
can enter: \mathbb (math blackboard), then space, then enter "R". Again, 
use the arrow keys to exit this environment.


2. I wrote a mathematical definition with a head-line "Difinition of 
xxx", followed by the correponding text. I could also generate a box 
around my definition. Now I want to draw a line in my box which 
separates my head-line from the text. What should I do?


It would help to see an example file that does the part you can do.

3. How can I incorporate a new paket in lyx? I have read that one

You mean new package?

Johann,

Using math mode you can select a format that allows you to insert both sub-
and superscripts.

I've no idea.

While I don't know what a 'paket' is, ERT is an unfortunate historical term
(Evil Red Text) for inserting LaTeX in the LyX document. On my hosts I use
Ctrl-l (control key + 'l') to open a box with a red outline (I don't
remember on which menu that's found). Start your LaTeX string with a
backslash. This is probably in one of the help manuals available on the help
menu.

HTH,

Rich

It was fixed only in the last major release, 1.3.x, and only in the 
xforms frontend. The fix is trivial (for Qt too) and requires that 
LyX responds only to a subset of mouse events from the underlying 
X11, MacOS or Win32 graphics libraries. In the xforms frontend we use 
a timer, so:
// The timer runs for 200ms
static Timer timer(200);
if (timer.running())
return;
timer.start();
dispatch(mouse_event_to_the_lyx_core);

This could go in, almost as is, to the mouseEventHandler in 
QContentPane.C. Feel free to try ;-)

It could be fixed. It just needs somebody to do it.

I've used LyX from before version 1.0, with xforms and qt frontends,
and don't remember the scrolling ever being satisfactory.  I wish it
were better, but have from necessity developed -- as I suspect other
LyX users have -- workarounds.  Why can't the scrolling be fixed?  It
would be very useful to be able to mark large blocks of text with the
mouse.

Let's just say that the guys implementing the Qt frontend had more 
important things to do. Like provide a Qt frontend in the first 
place. Remember, this is the very first version of LyX where you 
don't have to use xforms.

You should find that the xforms frontend does have a more manageable 
scrolling behaviour.

So, what you are saying - there is no way to slow down scrolling? Sounds 
strange, since
scrolling is done right even in very primitive text editors...

It's easier to use the shift key. Click on where you want to start 
highlighting, then hold the shift-key down and press page-down. You can
use the down and up-arrows and cursor movement keys to move the selection
end-point around.

You can try looking at http://www.lyx.org/help for your other
