the Escape key to exit the list without deleting the filter set.

However, the filters in the deleted set are no longer in effect (unless
they are part of another set). The deleted set will no longer appear
in the answer profile or any connection profiles to which it was
added.
IPX SAP filters
For each IPX SAP filter, you can configure a set of parameters to
match on certain attributes of IPX SAP packet entries. The filters
check IPX SAP packets for entries that match and then act on those
entries. The SAP packets themselves are always allowed to
continue after their entries are checked.
The purpose of filtering SAP packets is not to make your network
more secure, but to add efficiency to network bandwidth use.
Filtering SAP packets may reduce the size of SAP packets and SAP
bindery tables by removing unwanted entries.
