Syntax: RECOVER BUFFER file_spec Reconstructs the contents of a buffer from a buffer-change journal file. You can specify either of the following files: the source file that was in the buffer or the full name of the buffer-change journal file. The RECOVER BUFFER command tries to rebuild the contents of a buffer by using the latest available generation of the file that was in the buffer, and a journal file that contains a description of the changes to that buffer. Before LSE tries to recover a buffer, information about the journal file is displayed. When you specify an asterisk (*), LSE displays information about each available journal file in succession. You can choose not to recover a buffer if the information describes a journal file other than the one you want. For example, this command recovers the buffer message.txt: LSE> RECOVER BUFFER message.txt RELATED COMMANDS: SET BUFFER JOURNALING
