Lester omitted one part of the instructions... you need to already
have a FM file open before you attempt the "Esc,o,H" sequence...

You can try the "heroic open" command: ESC o H
(three key presses: Escape, lowercase OH, capital H)
If it works (no guarantees, unfortunately) immediately save the file
to a new directory / name and close it - do not try to edit it.
Then open the new file the normal way and see what you have.
Never screw around (um edit) with the Frame binary file in a text
editor like notepad. FrameMaker builds a check-sum into the file,
and even if the number of bytes doesn't change, you'll almost
certainly mess up the checksum.
