Please, save an old man some labor… I don’t have time to go through the millions of files for an answer.
Problem-- In a few cases, I can’t get to edit mode. Most of my model files work fine, but in at least 2 cases, I’ve
either corrupted the file, or pressed the wrong button.
Any help is appreciated.
(Do I have to tell you I’m a newbie?)

Notice - when this happens, Edit does not appear in the MODE options…
Your lamp is still selected, it doesn’t have an edit mode. RMB-Select the object and your heartrate will return to normal.

Fligh% your just the man, you know that? Your help is like a breath of fresh air. No kidding.
You see the guy with the big grin? It’s me!! 
Like tying shoelaces… easy if you know how, impossible otherwise.
I’ll probably be back with some other question – after giving it a good effort.
Many thanks

Thank you both. I appreciate it because at least half of my posts go unanswered and there are others who know far more than I do and also get little if any feedback.
