I suppose you are using a german binding: Press <Strg>+<L> to get a ERT box, Insert \befehl{/data/config.txt} and this string should be in courier.
If you are using a lot of different names or conventions for typesetting a seperate included file will be a better sollution. E.G. for a often used item like Desoxyribonucleinsaeure a \newcommand like the following will be a help: \newcommand{\dns} {Desoxyribonucleinsaeure~} After a while you will get a lot of such \newcommands which are ugly to edit in the preamble. But you can put it into a independent file which will be included via the preamble. Put a file called /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/mydef/mydefinitions.sty into your LaTeX directory. Run texhash in a shell as user root. In this file you can add your own definitions and may edit it with an editor of your choice. In LyX preamble add \usepackage{mydefinitions} and use your definitions as shown in the beginning. Bye, Thomas
