Use the paragraph dialog to insert a pagebreak at the end of the front page.

1. Start a new empty paragraph
2. Select LyX-Code layout
3. Use the menu Edit->Paste External Selection->As lines
(or alternatively, Insert->Insert File->Ascii as lines).
Note that it will look weird when you try to do DVI preview, but if you save
the file and reopen it, it will look OK.
A better option for inserting source code is to use the listing package:
