Help->Customisation has a section "Decalring a new text class" which is a good place to start. Basically you start by importing the main class you want to use, and add any new paragraph environments you want, or alter existing ones. So you could either start with the Book class and add aCopyright environment, or start with Book (Koma-script) and edit it to make it behave more like Book.If the book (or memoir) class had a style "Copyright" as does the Koma-Script book format, I would not be asking all these questions. Unfortunately, use of the latter class produces its own unintended consequences for me writing in the U.S. If I was really clever and knew LaTeX and LyX _very_ well, I could probably take the "Copyright" style from Koma-Script and add it to "book". Unfortunately, I'm not that clever with these applications. Nor can I find a LyX-class-writing-HOWTO.

-- "I can say: 'Thank these bees for their honey as though they were kind people who have prepared it for you'; that is intelligible and describes how I should like you to conduct yourself. But I cannot say: 'Thank them because, look, how kind they are!'--since the next moment they may sting you. - Wittgenstein
