Heather,

The message you are getting is the result of a check the
editor you are using (you don't say what editor that is) does
when it starts to edit a file which was previously in the process of being
edited and something happened to the editor program.

You are given the option of going ahead and ignoring this condition which
is what you should do.

One way this can happen (because an actual crash of the editor program is
an extreemly rare occurance) is that you failed to quit the editor program
before logging out or you forgot and left the workstation logged in and
someone else killed your login session.
