: button {
key = "button1;
label = "Okay";
is_tab_stop = true;
is_cancel = false;
is_default = true;
width = 15;
height = 10;
mnemonic = "B";
}

key = The name you assign to the button.

label = The text displayed on the button.

is_cancel = Determines if this is the cancel button. One control must be assigned to be the cancel action.

is_default = Determines if this button activates when the user presses the enter key.

mnemonic = Determines if you can press ALT+B to move to this action key. You assign the letter and DCL will underscore the letter on the dialog box to let the user know it is ALT-able. If that is a word!
