Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this.

Ok, now I feel stupid: I'll confess I was trying to insert it to the 
filename.lyx file with vim... {Possible if I understood how, but...}
I strongly dislike controlling my software via the mouse so I never
noticed that the TeX icon had help text referring to the unfamiliar term
Evil Red Text. And so didn't yet understand the function of "M-i t" or
"C-l" key bindings.

Which I'll admit is a lot easier than using vim to put all this:

\begin_inset ERT
status Open

\layout Standard

\backslash 
thispagestyle{fancy}
\end_inset 

Just to get this ERT:

\thispagestyle{fancy}

So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I
might find what I'm looking for if I google:

latex ERT

Still haven't found a useful "list" yet But it was during this search
that I tripped over instructions to use the TeX icon to insert ERTs 
so I'm glad I went there...

I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted
to the header, footer (and/or I suspect inside the document body via
ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for
most of my writing needs. Now I can focus mostly on my writing,
confident that I'll like letting lyx take care of MOST of the
typesetting details...

Thanks again Helge!

Joe
