Hoping someone can help me with this.
Using Debian Jessie [testing]
Lyx Version 2.0.6
I have attached my a text copy of my DIN.Ico file.
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.
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.
TIA
Be well,
Charlie

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.

\@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
