+== EditBoxes and OnEscapePressed ==
+EditBox type frames have an "OnEscapePressed" handler, which will prevent this method from working with them.  For these frames you can instead use:

+   myeditboxframe:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self) self:Hide() end)
-This does not work for me.  Not even a little bit.  What I found *does* work is this simple bit of code added to any frame (in this example, 'testframe')
-  testeditbox = CreateFrame("EditBox",nil,testframe,"InputBoxTemplate")
-   testeditbox:SetScript("OnEscapePressed",function()
-    testframe:Hide()
-  end)
