For this kind of environments, you use an Inset instead of a Style: it shows as a box in the LyX buffer, it is only leaved when you tell it, and it allows two subsequent instances without the "--- Environment Separator ---" hack. Unfortunately, beamer.layout (and some others) are older than the customizable Inset, so that it contains this "End..." hacks or uglier things. > What is the trick that permits (for example) a Frame environment to > contain other environments without the need to "increase the depth" of > the inserted environment? Using an Inset instead of a Style. Günter
