Using Buttons and Menus
This button, that appears at the bottom of most windows, lets you exit a window
and terminate any unsaved changes you have made (if applicable).
Use these three buttons to save changes in a window and set them at the managed
device (if applicable). You may also have to use the Cancel button to close a
window after you have made changes and set them.
This button brings up a Help text box with information specific to the current
window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting Help, later
in this chapter.
