   If the dialog box gives you the option to IGNORE, you can choose that and
your application _may_ give you the opportunity to save your data. Of course
it may just crash again. If it doesn't give you this option and instead only
lets you close the application, well you're SOL. Usually it only takes a
person one time losing a hard days work and they learn to save save save. If 
you are a hard case, like a couple of my friends, then try to use
applications that have autosave features. AmiPro has one, and probably WFW
also. That way you can have your app save your work every ten minutes or so
and the only thing you'll notice is the hour glass popping up for a
half-second or so. If you dont use apps that have this feature, but you
don't mind installing some third-party add-ons to Windows, try using
something like WinBatch to write an auto-save batchfile in Windows.
