 I would like to throw out this:

1. if a config dialog opens, you have a OK button, apply changes button, 
reset button,cancel button. On open the apply is grayed out and a dirty flag 
is set = 0,
the variables that are to be viewed and readjusted are loaded in to a save 
object.  This can now be used to load values into dialog variables.

2. If a variable is changed, even if it is changed back by hand, the dirty 
flag is set and the apply button is made useable. If the reset button is used 
the dirty flag is turned off and the apply button is not selectable. 

3. If a variable is changed, and reset is then selected, it automaticlly 
savesthe original settings, grays the apply and reset flag. Dialog displays 
original settings.

4 If a variable is changed, the user just selects apply and the changes are 
set. Give the User confirmation of save, clear dirty flag. apply goes gray.

5. If a variable is changed, the user just selects OK, if dirty flag is = 1, 
give user chance to save or throw away changes. if throw away changes save 
original settings to make sure there were no changes made. IUf Save, apply 
and return to system. if dirty flahg = 0, nothing to do return to system.

Well what do you think, I have done this many time in the past and it works 
very well.
