I agree with Bernhard, it is a great way to manage multple projects.

However, I do suggest to consider a dual approach:
instead of running one vbs file and navigate to required directory,
drop a copy of the *.vbs file into any directory to make that directory a
working directory (the one after /USE) and run the script from there
(you probably navigate to that directory anyway using a file browser).

The content of the *.vbs file is attached.
You only have to modify the path to the Blackbox.exe and then copy the
same *.vbs anywhere you wish.
Since I have many different projects
in BlackBox (not only programming, writing papers and presentations too),
it is impossible to stay within a scheme where choosing the project
directory would not be a chore at least part of the time.

This is particularly convenient with an adapted (also simplified and
improved) version of Desktop that I use. I'll send it to Helmut Zinn at
some point in a not too distant future -- or provide it as is for those
willing to try it.

cheers

' This script starts BlackBox in server mode,
' with this script's directory as working directory.
' Use:
' -- correct the value of prg below according to where your BlackBox is
installed,
' -- copy the corrected script into the would-be working directory,
' -- run it from there to start BlackBox in server mode in that directory.
' Note:
' Two double quotes in a row within a vbs string represent a single double
quote character.
' They are needed to allow paths containing spaces.
