Juergen,
Of course. :-)

No .sty files created. only .clo and .cls.
Might it be worthwhile to have whomever maintains the documentation
correct section 5.1 in the customization file?

I suppose that this is terribly complex and time consuming. I'd be happy
to help, but I suspect that I'd be more of a hinderance than benefit because
of my naivety of LaTeX and LyX.

Except that it still does not show up in the available classes. Sigh.
What's the next debugging step?
Also, as my book (created with pdflatex; printed to .ps, run through
ps2pdf) hangs when paged trough using acroread (on the blank pages following
each new Part page) I've something else going on here. Herbert's been
helping me but all I discover is that this document -- and every one,
including new and of all classes -- lack a \begin{document} command. At
least, that's what happens when I export to .dvi and run pdflatex.
Thanks,
