I need to make an input mask with the following format L1234. The letter L is
has to be on the front. I am having problems because L means any letter in
the input mask - does anyone know how to get around this?

If you lookup Input Mask or 'Input mask syntax and examples' in the help it
states: "To define one of the following characters as a literal character,
precede that character with a backslash (\).". Therefore you need only to
start your input mask as \L

For your example, you could use an input mask such as:
\L0000;;_
