Do you know what folder it was saved in? Have you tried looking there 
manually in Explorer? If the file was saved at least once, it's still 
got be be there somewhere. A freeze and/or crash like you had won't 
delete existing files, though it may have a tilde in front of the name 
if it didn't save correctly. Also remember the file may have a variation 
on the file name you expect.

If you do find a file with a tilde in front of the name, just remove the 
tilde and then open it in LiveCode.

This is a very good, precise recipe. Please send it to bugs at runrev.com. 
They will want to know so they can fix it. As painful as it's been for 
you, you've actually done a good deed by finding it. Maybe you can save 
others some trouble.
