I finally got around to trying this on my home PC, which runs XP Home

machine in my office (as I'm assiduously avoiding going anywhere near
the office).
My luck ran out and I ended up at the office. It turns out that alt-F4
does not kill either LyX or cmd.exe here (XP Pro). So my XP Pro laptop,
where it does work, is apparently the outlier, although I have no
explanation for why it works there.

I tried closing LyX with Alt-f4 with LyX1.4.1 and it didn't work,
but with Joost's 1.4.2, closing with alt-f4 works if installed in
either C:\LyXx or C:\Program Files\LyXx (path space), so it must
be 'an obvious fact since those are the most deceptive.'
