You *can* rescue your text, if you have MORE and MEM from the DIY toolkit. The steps are: 1. Use SEARCH_MEMORY to find a string from your document. Start the search at 50000 to avoid finding the string you've just entered. 2. Use MORE MEM to inspect the memory. Go to the address you found and scroll back and forth to get the start and end addresses of the stored text. 3. Use SBYTES to save it. It's tricks like that which make me wish that Linux had some of the features of QDOS. But then if OpenOffice crashes, it normally saves the file!
