looks like I spoke a bit too early. If I add
\usepackage{comment}
\includecomment{comment}to the preamble, TeX chokes after the first page and aborts, resulting in a on- page document. The LaTeX log files (appended below) says that there seems to be a problem with a missing closing brace. But I don't know whether to trust this message, and in any case I'd have no idea where to put the missing brace. Any suggestions from the users of the "comment" package in LyX would be really appreciated.
Best,
Stefano

Thanks for the help. That's exactly what I was looking for. It certainly is not a replacement for true conditional text, but at least it will take care of my most immediate needs.

"Conditional text" feature of FrameMaker (a more powerful version of
Word's "invisible text"). I looked through the documentation, FAQs,
etc., but could not find anything. Perhaps "Comment" is not the right
paragraph environment? Or perhaps I need an additional package? Any
help is greatly appreciated.
In the Document menu, choose Preamble and paste the following line:
\usepackage{comment}
And then one of the following two lines for if you want them printed or not.
\includecomment{comment} \excludecomment{comment}
This will work for what you describe, but LyX lacks proper conditional text
support. (Yes, I know the ifthen-package workaround, that's pretty ugly.)
