How to insert ERT before first list item

[Sanford Shieh]

Hi all,

I'm trying to implement resuming enumerate in Beamer following the solution https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55000/continuing-enumerate-counters-in-beamer.  This requires the following:

\begin{enumerate}
    \conti
  \item zip
...

In LyX if I put \conti in ERT in the first item, the command appears after \item, and nothing happens.  One thing that worked is to make the first list item \conti in ERT together with a blank Custom Item.  The actual LaTeX, seen in the Preview panel, is \item[] \conti

My question is: is this the only hack available?  Or is there some method in LyX of reproducing the LaTeX above analogous to inserting a Mini Template?

Thanks,
Sanford
