Create and Delete act on the layout design Nothing done at this point
actually writes anything to the disk. I would suggest that "Exit" be changed
to "Continue" and, as I have already suggested, "Save" on the next screen
should be changed to "Commit" or "Execute".

A one-liner on the screen stating that nothing at this point will
write to the disk
might be a good idea, though, just to make people more comfortable.
