The final step allows the choice to execute the command immediately and so produce only output or to generate command(s) to be added to the current command editor document; or to a new one.

The 'Execute Immediately' option produces output instantly in a new output window. 

Using the 'Generate commands' option allows the saving and reexecution commands or the incorporation of them into a larger command file. Supported commands may then be edited by hand or edited using the wizard by clicking on the command line and using the right mouse button to select 'Edit Command...' as shown below.
