	Of course, she should've had a backup of the original. But
anyhow, when AW hangs on me I just press control reset (button next to
the apple logo on keyboard) and that has always unfreezed the computer
for me. 

	I CAN'T SAY IF THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU! MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS
WHERE IN MEMORY AW SAVES THE DATA AND YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO RECOVER
THAT WAY!! DON'T TRY MY METHOD UNLESS NOTHING ELSE WORKS!

	Good luck!

Later
