What happened to my Blocks Palette...It's Gone.

I had my blocks palette docked to the side of my screen and accidently closed it. Now I can't get it back. I thought the insert command would bring it back up, but all it does is say "*Insert a block from the Blocks palette". I've checked tool palettes, tool bars, my CUI, Options, and can't find the palette anywhere. How do I get it back?

Try entering BLOCKSPALETTE at the command line.

I've tried both the BLOCKSPALETTE and BLOCKSPALETTECLOSE commands and neither do anything.

If you go to OPTIONS > Profiles tab, and select a default profile (or any other profile, really), does the palette show up (when you enter BLOCKSPALETTE at the command line if it's not already showing)?

This worked. I wish I knew what I did to lose it to begin with, but I'm back up and working. Thank you so much.
