Mark,
This is because the program is in a wait state and continues the code once you close the project manager. Simply add the NOWAIT clause to MODIFY PROJECT.

FWIW, you may want to check out PathMgr from COB at http://www.cobsystem.com/freetool.htm.

It's a nice little utility that adds itself to the menu. It allows you to specify the default directory and path per project. You can also call a program and specify whether you want to open the project.
