This sounds silly, but I've been through all the help files, and I can't see a way to underline some text.

Better you use the package "soul": add the line
\usepackage{soul}to the preamble and then use the command \ul in ERT.
The advantage of \ul is, that it is able to hyphenate and that is has the right spacing. E.g. if you underline the word "applying", you can see that the LyX-option underbar strikes out the lower parts of the letters p, y and g.
I attached a small file to demonstrate it.

p.s. possibly you have to install "soul" in your LaTeX system before you can use it.
