It's a bit more complicated as Keypad-minus is already defined as an
alternative key used to cycle thru cities.  You'll have to remove that
definition for this to work.

Search the same file, CIV4ControlInfos.xml, for CONTROL_PREVCITY and
change this line:

<HotKeyAlt>KB_NUMPADMINUS</HotKeyAlt>

to this:

<HotKeyAlt/>

You will still be able to cycle thru cities with the Home and End
keys.

Then change the CONTROL_WORLD_BUILDER setting from above to this:

<ControlInfo>
	<Type>CONTROL_WORLD_BUILDER</Type>
	<Description>TXT_KEY_WORLD_BUILDER</Description>
	<Help/>
	<HotKey>KB_NUMPADMINUS</HotKey>
	<bAltDown>0</bAltDown>
	<b****ftDown>0</b****ftDown>
	<bCtrlDown>0</bCtrlDown>
	<iHotKeyPriority>0</iHotKeyPriority>
	<HotKeyAlt/>
	<bAltDownAlt>0</bAltDownAlt>
	<b****ftDownAlt>0</b****ftDownAlt>
	<bCtrlDownAlt>0</bCtrlDownAlt>
	<iHotKeyPriorityAlt>0</iHotKeyPriorityAlt>
</ControlInfo>

Again make sure you copy CIV4ControlInfos.xml to the appropriate
folder under 'Custom Assets' folder, and then edit the file there.
For BTS, that would be here:

C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USERNAME]\My Documents\My Games\Beyond
the Sword\CustomAssets\xml\units

Good luck,
Wintermute
