What's the deal with the changes file/versions button?

I see a lot of stuff telling me that the changes file logs accepted edits, and that this is useful if the dog rolls over the power cord. Having lost power on the computer today, I can't find a way to access any unsaved, but accepted changes. Is there a setting for this? Is there some other way to get accepted edits to code saved?

The squeak by example book has a chapter on recovering from a crash
that I used just the other day in exactly your situation. I don't have
the link off-hand, but a google search should bring it up. Quickly.

>From memory it goes like this:

Open Help from the world menu and select "useful expressions"

A workspace opens up with a bunch of "useful expressions". Select the
first three lines and Do it. That brings up a dialog that asks you how
far back you want to go (you were saving new versions, right?). Then
you can select and file in changes you have made from the Recent
Changes Browser.

Again, detailed instructions are in Squeak by example.

See the FAQ's "Trouble shooting" section, in particular "What do I do  
when Squeak crashes or freezes?"

OK, thanks - problem solved!

For the record, I discovered that the world menu (left click on seaside desktop) has a "changes" item which leads to a bunch of stuff including "recently logged changes". From there, you get a menu asking how far back to browse, and from there one can recover lost edits.
