I once had a "Gunched" workspace, but fortunately still some things
worked.  I did something along these lines:

	Quad-open
	Quad-write Quad-CR 'fun'
	Quad-close

Then I went to an uncorrupted ws, and did something along these lines:

	Quad-open
	Quad-FX Quad-read 'fun'
	Quad-close

I did not get everything back, but I got most.
It was a pain, but it was better than re-typing all the functions.
