Thanks, Sean! Yes, in OS X, the closeRequest handler is called when you click the Quit command in the OS X system menu or the Close box in the projector's title bar, and also when you press Escape (with exitLock set to true). Perfect!
closeRequest is not in Dir MX 10 Help, but there is a Technote on it at http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/closerequest.htm. It says this is an undocumented feature of Dir MX 10. For some reason, the Escape key is mentioned in the Technote as pertaining to Windows only. I see it doing exactly the same thing in OS X (Panther).
