On Windows, usually no, I haven't noticed any. But I'm in the habit of clicking "Apply" before "OK" just to be on the safe side, since many non-Native Windows apps DO require the "Apply" be clicked first. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Grossman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a basic, simple query: A student of mine asked me about the purpose of "Apply." Many applications ask you to click on Apply and then Close or OK after changing settings. Those settings seem to work just as well if you click on Close or OK without clicking on Apply. Is there any purpose for including this extra step?
