There's no easy way to indicate wrapped lines automatically, so far as I 
know. You could do it manually, using ⏎, which you can insert using 
unicode-insert 0x23ce in the minibuffer.

Hi all, 
I had some problems joining the mailing list, so following Nabble's
instructions, I re-posted again.

Meanwhile, some people provided some nice suggestions and solutions there:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/64608

Have a look.

I myself will try on Monday

Thanks all

I met opposite practice to mark places when user has to hit enter with
a graphical mark of typewriter's carriage return (↵) and proper
comment about meaning of this sign in the book content. It could be
grey to avoid confusion it is a part of text to enter. I saw a book
where it was even a small photography (or rendering) of enter key.

Step 1:  Pick the glyph you want to use to indicate line wrapping.  The 
Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List may help here.  If necessary, install 
whatever font package it comes in, and add a \usepackage{...} to your 
preamble.  Avoid symbols that occur only in math mode (which, sadly, 
accounts for most arrows); if there's a way to make them work, I haven't 
found it yet.


Step 2: Rather than using LyX-code, use Insert  Program Listing, which 
creates an inset using the listings package.  Right-click the inset, 
click Settings ..., and on the Main Settings tab check Break long 
lines.  You can leave the language setting at No language unless you 
think what you're writing matches one of the languages on the list 
fairly well.


Step 3: Go to the advanced tab and, in the right pane, type 
'prebreak=whatever', without the quotes and replacing whatever with the 
symbol you want.  For instance,


prebreak=\textbackslash

will put '\' wherever wrapping occurs.

That should do it.
