Thanks Joe. I'm so used to using genealogy apps which nowadays have the
feature that somehow saves changes almost as you enter them. That's why
I had the idea that restoring would do that same thing.
Your description of the sequence of what happened is right on the money.
Thanks.

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.
