Can someone please tell me what I have to change to have the text on my
first page actually write down closer to the bottom of the page?

At the moment the text ends about 75mm from the bottom of the page and
then starts a new page.

Hi Charlie,

You can add the line ,enlargefirstpage=true at the end of the class 
options in the preamble (between the lines %,refline=wide% and } in 
my lyx version).


  Also, to get my page number on the second page lower to the bottom of
  the page, at the moment it is about 50mm from the bottom. I think this
  has something to do with the same setting that would fix the above.
The foot position on the first page does not apply to the next pages. 
You will probably need to define your \nextfoot variable. I never tried, 
most of my letters are one page ;-)

Thanks for your help again Jean, it works and your help is much
appreciated.

In case it assists anyone else in the future.

I couldn't get the \nextfoot variable to work Jean, because I didn't
know how to write it, so probably wrote it wrong.

But this works a treat placed at the bottom of the preamble to drop the
page number down a bit, or a lot in my case.

\setlength{\footskip}{4cm}

That can be be pts as well instead of cm or mm

Hope that helps someone else.

Thanks again Jean.

6 DIN.lco file:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/DIN.lco





Read section 4.2 Pseudo-Lengths (page 135). With my words:
All these pseudo-lengths have a default value. If you want to change 
this default value and make it completly different you use \@setplength. 
If you want to slightly modify it, you use \@addtoplength.


 I have attached the diagram you sent and added the commands that you
 have helped me with in green and red.

 I have also tried to make the signature on my letter template come to
 the left of the page with these commands, none of which work:

 \@setplength{sigindent}{\raggedleft} without success [...]
 And many more, to numerous to mention here, but never the right one.  

\@setplength{sigindent}{0mm}
will place the box containing the signature on the left side but this is 
already defined in the DIN.lco

It's probably worthwhile to make your own version of the DIN.lco that 
you are using. Copy it under a new name (myDIN.lco f.ex.) in the 
directory where you have your lyx letters and modify it as you wish:

Instead of using
\@addtoplength{firstheadvpos}{1cm}
after calling the original DIN.lco where this plength is set, you can 
replace inside your new lco the
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{8mm}
by
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{18mm}


Don't forget to call your lco file in the preamble:

\LoadLetterOption{myDIN}%



To place the signature inside the closing box on the left you have to 
change in your lco file
  \let\raggedsignature=\centering
to
\let\raggedsignature=\raggedright
