Subject: cpm undelete function and more....

I have a request for you CPM guru's out in netland.

I have a friend who owns a Kaypro/10 CPM machine.  She just called
and told me the following:

While I was in WordStar (version unknown), I noticed I had a bunch of
old files and I deleted them.  When I left Wordstar and went back to me
menu [system], I got the outline of the menu but didn't get the inside
of the menu.  [These are her descriptions, not mine.]  I think everything
is still there because I can escape out of the menu and still get to
Wordstar from the A0.  I talked to a company in Arlington and described my
problem and they told me they could recover the menu system but it would
cost about $90.

The questions I have are:

short term:

1) Is there an undelete type command that can be used on a CPM machine?  If so,
   where do I get it and how do I get it on a floppy that the CPM machine
   can read?

2) Is there another way to recover the menu "insides"?

long term:

1) Is there any easy way to get the data files that she has under Wordstar
   in some form that they are importable into an IBm machine if she upgrades?

    Suggestions, comments are certainly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
