Isn't that a bit odd? Shouldn't Cancel do exactly that: cancel the whole 
operation? In my book, that also means rolling back all things that have been 
done before, so the user ends up in the same state as he was before he 
initiated the action. Were cancel to work like this, "Skip" would be really 
different from Cancel. Auto Skip may be disabled I think.
Just MHO, of course...
