If you will have exclusively program listings and no algorithm floats, you can
put the listings in algorithm floats and add to your preamble
\floatname{algorithm}{Program Listing}. That will change the float captions to
"Program Listing 1", "Program Listing 2" etc. in the output (they'll still say
"Algorithm" in the LyX GUI). Note that if you insert a List of Algorithms, the
heading of that will still use the word "algorithm".
If you want to mix algorithms and program listings, you'll need to declare a new
float class for the program listings and insert the floats using ERT.
