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.
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.)
