Apply	Use to carry out pending changes without closing the dialog box or window.
Back	Use to go to the previous page (not necessarily the last-viewed page) in wizards, on Web sites, and in Web-style programs. If there is an issue with Back navigation causing data loss on a Web site or a Web-based application, use Previous instead, and inform the user. See also Previous.

Clear	Use to empty a container of its contents.
Close	Use to close a window, page, or document. For error messages, use when either no solution is provided or none is available (instead of OK).
Copy	Make a copy of the selected object without removing the existing object. Typically the copy is put onto the clipboard for later pasting to the target.
Create	Use to create a new item. Use Create instead of New, except in cases where New is well established as a command (for example, the New command on most File menus). Do not use "Create New."
Cut	Use to remove the selected item and transfer it to a temporary storage space (i.e., the Clipboard). (See Copy and Paste)
Delete	Use to permanently remove (or indicate intent to permanently remove) data. Do not confuse with Remove.
