This dialog box can not be canceled, at least not on w32. I think this is a bug and that a third alternative for canceling should be added. Normally you can type C-g in the Emacs window to quit out ofthe dialog. (I don't know whether this works on Windows.) Nonetheless, adding "Quit" as an alternative would not be a bad thing -- for all platforms. Would someone like to do that?
