 I think we need to update this a bit. What you need to write is:
  Jimmy|see[ERT]{[/ERT]Joe[ERT]}[/ERT]
 where the ERT stuff means: put the brackets in ERT. The problem is
 that LyX is escaping the brackets for you, which is usually the right
 thing to do, but not here.
 
 Richard

I've found it much, much, MUCH easier to do see and seealso entries in
a separate text file, and then add this to the document preamble:

\input{seealso.inc}

Here is the text of my (very short) seealso.inc for my book The Key to
Everyday Excellence


==
\index{UTP|see{Universal Troubleshooting Process}}
\index{Jim Barber|see{Barber (Jim)}}
\index{Scan and Exploit!To teach calculus|see{Calculus}}
\index{Justice Coalition!Design discussions|seealso{Skill Transfer 
Process-Targeted-Derivation of the Justice Coalition}}
==

When doing indices, see's and seealso's, be very, very careful of your
font encoding, or you'll get these errors caused by LyX's propensity to
replace pipe symbols with actual LaTeX code. This goes away if you use
T1 font encoding, but in LyX 2.x I can't find where you set that.
