You're correct, Daiya. And since the original question had to do with the
keyboard shortcut cmd-delete deleting new message window, and nothing to do
with confirmation dialogs, I think Barry may have been on "auto-pilot" and
just got misled by the term "Reset" and also perhaps by your unorthodox (for
Entourage) use of the term "command" which might have obscured the issue a
bit (or not).

Word uses the term "Commands" in its Tools/Customize dialog to mean the
actions taken by menu items and toolbar buttons. That's a rather specialized
use of the term (brought over from Word Windows, I guess) that is not so
common on the Mac, and is not used anywhere the Entourage Help. (Entourage
Help seems to talk about keyboard shortcuts for Entourage "functions".
Hmmm.) Probably it's best to use some other term to avoid this sort of
confusion, although in the context of the original question it seemed clear
to me what you were talking about. I'm not sure that "command" misled Barry,
but he'll tell us soon...
