However, when I open the project window the new window I was working on when it crashed is not even listed.

Probably you added this window after the last time you ran the project, but before you crashed.

What does restore do?

REALbasic saves an extra copy of your project out to a temporary folder whenever you run it. It later deletes this if you close your project cleanly. At startup, if it finds such an autosave project lying around, it gives you the alert you saw and opens that copy as project name plus "(Restored)".

From the message box my interpretation was I'd get at least some of the changes that I had made to the project by restoring instead of saying no which would give me no changes and I'd have to start from scratch in creating my new window.

Yes, that's generally the case, though of course not always -- it depends on when you had saved compared to when the autosave project was made.

Cheers,
