Yes, that is right.As a matter of fact I use both the Item_Environment and
the C-Return in my programs. Why ?
The appearance in the screen looks very closely to the paper document.
That is why I did the patch #1 (the one that changes the color of the newline
character), to make the newlines characters to blend in the background,
and not interfere with the visuaisation of the code.
But, I don't want to force everyone else to do what I like. People is
used to type plain return to change to the next line, so we must to provide
a way do that. The Layout I found more suitable for it was the Environment
one.

I have good news and bad news.
The file is a latex2e. But...
The file is also a modified report class. It has a lot of low level TeX
commands. I am not a LaTeX guru either. Basicaly I started with
a document describing the differences between latex209 and latex2e
and modifyed an existing thesis.sty into a thesis.cls one.
I use:
\LoadClass[12pt]{report}
i.e., all the common parts with the original report class were removed.
But the file still has 400+ lines of re-definitions, and new environments,
in low level TeX.
Then I created the thesis.layout file for lyx. That was the easiest part.

Hummm. I don't hold my breath for that.
The title page alone (the one that the committee signs), uses
*five* different combinations of fonts and sizes !!
These things are still done in a very traditional way....
Anyway, I am attaching both files, take a look and tell me what you think.

Not at all, suggestions for improvements are always welcome.
