CREATE PROJECT [<file> | ?]
        [WINDOW <window name1>]
        [IN [WINDOW] <window name2>
        | IN SCREEN]

-----------------------------------
Creates project.
-----------------------------------

The CREATE PROJECT command opens a Project window.  A project is a
special database file that keeps track of all programs, databases, .MEM
files, keyboard macros, screens, menus, libraries, reports, labels and
format files that are required to create an application, as well as all
the dependencies, references and connections among the files.  A project
database has a .PJX extension and an associated memo file (.PJT).  In a
project, you specify all the pieces that are required for the final
application, then FoxPro makes sure that compiled files (.FXPs) are
based on the latest source files (.PRGs).

After you create a project, the project information is stored in a
FoxPro database file with a .PJX extension.  Once a FoxPro project file
is created, it can be used to create one of two program types: an
application (.FXP) or an executable program (.EXE).

A project database can be opened with the USE command and manipulated
like any other FoxPro database.

Issuing the command CREATE PROJECT without any additional arguments
opens a new Project window.  The name "UNTITLED" is temporarily assigned
to the project.  When you exit the Project window, you can save the
project definition with a different name.
