Also took a look in MSDN, but got the impression that such events applied

You want to distinguish between an *accidental* click on 'x' and a
*deliberate* click on 'x' ?? (Of course you don't .... I'm just being
facetious :-)
Have you played with the idea of having the console window created by
"Administrator" ? I'm thinking that such a window could not be closed by
"User" (though that "thought" is untested). Perhaps 'perldoc Win32::Process'
and 'runas /?' could provide useful ideas in that regard.
SIG{INT} traps should work fine on Windows NT/2000/XP, but afaik, such
traps/handlers work only with regards to Ctrl-C, not with clicking on 'x'.
I'm no expert ... hopefully any incorrect statements I've made will be
corrected by those "in the know" .... stay tuned :-)
Cheers,
Rob
