Blender Jass Pub 2.3, recover from pressing 4? (i think)

[ohn]

hi! i am trying out blender, and enjoying it thoroughly. however, i every now and then i seem to be pressing a key (perhaps key sequence?) that removes the model from view, or perhaps deletes it entirely, but i am not sure.

i *believe* i am pressing something like the 4 key (not f4). pressing CTRL+Z does not bring the model back into view. it's happened several times, and happens so quick i cannot be sure exactly the sequence of keys i pressed.

i am hoping a blender expert might know right off the top of her/his head what i might be doing. i would be huuuuuugely greatful as i have lost quite a bit of work this way.

Pressing the (non-keypad) number keys switches to different layers. To get back to the default layer, press the "1" key. Took me ages to discover that one too!
