|CANCEL IN EVERY OTHER APPLICATION ON EARTH means 'leave it untouched!'

I sort of think it ought to do this too; I use quite a lot of windoze
software where I get into a bad looking place and then go 
'Oh well, CANCEL, no harm done.'

If I were a bozo new user I sure would like windoze semantics in
the dialog boxes...  It has been 18 months since I had a Mac on
my desk but I don't remember it being any different.

Maybe too late, but I'm busy upgrading everything I have via make
worlds.
