Edward and I talked about this and he reminded me that changes are actually 
committed as you move between fields.  If you don't want to commit your
changes, then hit cancel.  I agree that this is somewhat confusing, but
it is how the system was designed.  I'd take suggestions about how to make
this more clear.

The best solution would be to move away from modal dialogs.

An alternative solution would be some sort of system that would bring
up the Edit Parameters dialog after the Help, Add or Remove dialog
was closed.

Since Ptolemy has had this misbehavior for about 10 years, and this
misbehavior is in Kepler-1.0, I move that this bug be either closed
or targeted to 2.X.Y.  I'll leave it up to someone else to make that call.
