No, not at all. It's a way of giving you more options. See my last Christmas
message. You can set the 'cancel button name' to anything at all , and then
it's not a cancel button. It's a Help button or a More Choices button or a
Go To Webpage button or whatever you want to make it. The user will just see
what you name it - it won't be Cancel any more. Of course, hardly any one
ever uses it that way, because generally you want to offer Cancel. But you
can - it's a feature.
