I got hosed a couple of times by GoFish .... that it actually opens the project I last had opened

I don't think that's accurate. There is a setting in GoFish that says "Active Project". If selected, this setting means GoFish respects the active project and will refer to whatever the active project is if it is closed and re-opened, or if left open and focus comes back to it.

If you don't want to use that option, search for and select the project you are interested in using "Browse Project".

Having thus pampered myself, I got hosed a couple of times by GoFish when I kept forgetting that it has one, central, MRU list and that it actually opens the project I last had opened. Well I maintain two versions of the same code, one still in beta, and I accidentally opened the wrong one in GoFish without realizing it.

>I've learned my lesson, cost me only a couple of hours (which I guess were saved already by GoFish itself, so the net balance is positive), so I'm fine even if you do nothing in this area. Perhaps creating your system xml files where foxuser is instead of at a central location would serve just as well (at least the local settings, specially MRUs may go there) may be easy to do. I don't have the time to dive into your code, or else I'd have submitted the suggested fixes already :).
