"Cancel" means "go back to the way it was before I started this
operation."  File copy SHOULD remove the files.

Previous version of the System did it wrong.

Set aside was never there.  You probably installed a BETA mutifinder,
6.1b7 or 6.1b9.  System 6.0.x does not have a set aside feature.
(You'll have to wait for System 7.0)
