Create project file backups and to control the child window that displays when you open a new project
The project object is a sub-object of the system object. The project object properties allow you to create project file backups and to control the child window that displays when you open a new project. Both options are set in the OPTION.CNF file. These settings can also be accessed in the Options dialog box.
