I made a new layout file by using the "article.layout" file to produce

\usepackage{amets}

with this commands in the layout file the amets.sty is loaded
by default.
# Input general definitions
Input stdclass.inc
I have not made any changes to stdclass.inc, and I don't know where to
put the "amets.sty" file.
all lyx-layout files store in ~/.lyx/layouts and all *sty-files see

I am including the amets.sty file here for my next questions:

should I not be able to see paragraph environments like
asection
asubsection etc. ?
the lyx-layout files are only for the wysiwyg and you'll see only
that styles which are described in any of the used layout files
in ~/.lyx/layouts or in /usr/share/lyx/layouts. modify your
amets.layout (you can adopt the standard article.layout) store
it in ~/.lyx/layouts, do a edit-reconfigure from within lyx
and restart, than all should work.

clarification customizing manual
Hi,
I am stuck trying to use a LaTeX style file with Lyx. Being relatively
new to Lyx and not knowing much about LaTeX does not help me either!
Therefore my call for help to you out there:
I followed the example in 6.2.2 of the "Customizing Lyx" manual (vs.
1.1.6). What I could not figure out: into which directory does the
"myclass.sty" file in the example have to go?
Should I rather go to the users-mailing list for the remaining question?
I'll ask it anyway:
The style file I am trying to use is for journals of Meteorological
Societies, "amets.sty".

should I not be able to see paragraph environments like
asection

Thank you very much for your help (because if I can't get that to work,
I'll have to switch back to MS bloatware)!

this is the list for the documentation of lyx and it has very low
volume. therefore you should always write to
lyx-users@...
