Let's take this step-by-step. First, I strongly recommend using knitr

Scott,
That's certainly a brief manual. :-)
If so, now let's see how to add knitr to a new document. Above you said
that there is no Sweave article class. Indeed, because you can add it to
any class as a module. Go to Document Settings > Modules and add the "Rnw
(knitr)" module. Click "Add" and then "OK".
Oops! The knitr package was not installed; now it is.
No in your document, either use ERT like in the knitr manual (try just
copying over the junk), or what I recommend is to use the knitr Chunk
environment. To do this latter, go to Insert > Custom Insets > Chunk
(this is now there because you've added the module). After you add the
chunk, try just putting in "rnorm(5)". That's it, no beginning <<>>= and
no ending @. The chunk inset does that for you.
Here's the chunk:
<<show-off>>=
rnorm(5)

and here's the tail of the messages when I tried compiling with pdflatex:

So, now it's knitr doc reading time.
