> Where did you actually see this

uhh ...




My comment was too hasty (sorry) but my point was that you seemed to be asking about the behavior of something that doesn't actually exist, and in fact might never have. (?) I'm not sure where Raymond got it from, or he was just doing this from memory, but Googling around, I don't see an Abort button here:

All the 3-button versions of the dialog I recall are Abort/Retry/Ignore, not Cancel. So it's kind of hard to answer "what does Cancel do"!


He was probably doing it from memory then since the dialog box is made in HTML (it's not a screenshot).
