Using Window Buttons

have to use this button to close a window after you have made any necessary
changes and set them by clicking on an
, , or button.
An , , or button appears in windows that have
configurable values; it allows you to confirm and SET changes you have made to
those values. In some windows, you may have to use this button to confirm each
individual set; in other windows, you can set several values at once and confirm
the sets with one click on the button.
The button brings up a Help text box with information specific to the
current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting
