| 1. A machine-implemented method comprising:
receiving commands resulting from interaction with controls of a software interface dialog;
distinguishing between a first command that is held upon receipt, in at least one circumstance, to be performed later, and
a second command that is passed through the dialog to be performed upon receipt; and
retaining both the first command and the second command in a command sequence managed by a cancel control of the dialog;
wherein the dialog includes a preview control operable to specify whether effects of interaction with the controls are to
be previewed as interaction with the controls occurs, the first command is subject to the preview control, the second command
is not subject to the preview control, the first and second commands being additional to one or more commands affecting the
preview control, and the distinguishing comprises performing the second command but not the first command when the preview
control specifies the effects of interaction are not to be previewed.
