Alt-F4 kills cmd.exe on my laptop, so I think there may be something going on at the OS level. There are keyboard macro programs for XP that can remap function keys (I don't know if the Alt-F4 combination can be remapped). Could you have one installed? (

Are you sure Alt-F4 kills cmd.exe?  I have tried on a couple of machines and
checked other groups, Alt-F4 does not kill cmd.exe for most.

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!

I think it as just as quick to type "exit <enter>"                      
because the keys are closer together. This works
if cmd.exe is the program with current focus, just
like Alt-F4. But if cmd.exe is not the current focus
you would have to cycle through them with Alt-tab
to return focus to cmd.exe. Also just like Alt-F4
with its generic close program assignment method.
