sorry about talking to myself.... but in case someone else will
benefit....

i didn't wait an hour.. i looked into the cache in library/
application support/ macromedia... and found a new file cg.dws (this
is probably not a standard dw file but a site that i may have created
when first getting dw to play & learn it)... the cache did not
contain my non-dw sites....
i quit my 'locked in start-up dw8' and started it once more...:
this time when it began to index all of the sites and pages on my
hard drive....
i clicked on the 'stop' button... and it opened right up! this let
me go to manage sites and select a real site... and i will just
ignore the fact that dw thinks of my entire hard drive as 'cg'.
