Hi -thanks so much for the ideas.
The save worked...but apparently whatever error I caused to a couple of the
polygons means they can't now be split, merged, etc...will just send the file
to a friend to help repair. I'm still a hack / newbie w/ QGIS and I was only
entering attribute data so I have no clue how to 'repair' the affected polys -
QGIS doesn't seem to offer any stock advice on that.

Save the layer into a new shapefile. Re-open what you have changed now and
compare with your back-up copy. Perhaps you can save some work with copy-paste.
It feels like your previous save has been at least partially successful
because some features have been deleted but on QGIS side the deletion has
not been confirmed. Let's hope that at least part of inserts and edits have
been actually saved also.
