Are you sure Alt-F4 kills cmd.exe?  I have tried on a couple of machines

checked other groups, Alt-F4 does not kill cmd.exe for most.

Well, I just opened a command window on my laptop (XP Pro), ran a
command in it, hit Alt-F4 and (a) the window vanished and (b) it's not
showing up on the task list.  So either I killed it or I banished it to
a parallel universe.  :-)

I haven't tried this on XP Home, though.

As far as I know, I do not have ny sort of remapping or crazy application
running in the background.  All apps but cmd.exe and lyx.exe respond to
Alt-F4.

Using cua.bind, Alt-F3, F4, Alt-4 all can be mapped to kill lyx but not
Alt-F4.
 crazy.

If you have any other ideas to try out, let me know.  Thanks!

Well, if it works in other apps, then it presumably has not been
remapped, so I'm at a loss as to what is going on.  Are your machines
set up to use a non-English code page?  (I'm groping in the dark here.)

I'm having the same issue on XP Pro. Neither Lyx 1.4.1 or cmd.exe are killed
with alt-f4, while all other apps are.

I have LyX 1.4.2 installed and alt-f4 kills lyx but not cmd.exe
My keyboard requires using an F-lock key to enable standard features.
