do this quickly in Lyx, so...

What I want is a neatly formatted set of relations like

a  S  b
c  T  d

and so forth.  I just need the analog of the usual 3 column  
equation array
environment so that the various inequality symbols match up  
properly.  In
the above example I want 5 columns instead of the usual 3.  I tried  
to use
the AMS align environment, but had trouble adding the columns (the

came out with way too much spacing).

How do I do this in Lyx?


You could use an array in a regular equation environment.  Then you  
have more control over alignment of each column in the array.

One possibility: use the AMS Alignat environment with *four* columns and 
leave the third column empty.  So, using | to denote column breaks:


a | S | | b
c | T | | d
