Uwe,
You have been very patient. Your text certainly provides the indent, however I see that each "paragraph" is in fact made of standard lines.
I have modified your text to introduce Tex paragraphs - please see the attached file. The purpose of this is to permit me to vary the spacing between paragraphs. With this modification, the indentation disappears.
One additional difference in your script, as compared with my original script is that you have a \begin_preamble .... \end_preample. I had assumed that all of the material before my text was in fact the preamble. You've sorted that out.
Thanks again for all your help.

This gives me a Text Class error, when I open the .lyx file.
I attached an example file, that works.
If you have troubles, mail me an example .lyx-file (as attachment).

However, I do get indentation on these \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset paras \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset if the whole text is made Standard. The indents remain in the dvi view. \newline \the_end
