I tried doing just that, but found that I am unable to type in even the
simplest example without an error about "\end{document}" having no line to
end... The package does not appear to require a document having any specific
parts in the body. I tried to add either/both \begin{document} and
\end{document} statements to no avail. ("Exam" did show up as a class, BTW,
after doing the above.)
I'm still slowly trying to figure out how to get the various environments
into Lyx's drop down list at the top. One of my the biggest problems is a
lack of knowledge about Latex itself and how Lyx incorporates that from the
.cls files into the layout files.
Additionally, can a new command (macro?) be defined in the preamble which
causes a substitution of a whole phrase? E.g. "\bmcq" translating to
\begin{multiplechoice}
\begin{question}
??? This would at least give me a shorthand way of doing several entries at
once until things get figured out.
I appreciate the help!
