I ran multiple queries but before saving them, the qpad crashed. However the q-port on which these queries were running (on my windows machine) is still open. I can recover the variables and functions by \v and \f respectively.
The answer is no. qpad is the GUI that interact with the q process. The reason why you can retrieve the variable and function is because the process did not die. For the query, in default q will not save that, unless when you customize your .z.pg to upsert a record in a queryHistory table.
