Yes, I saw your recent post about that.  There is clearly a range of 
views about user interfaces. and I was encouraged to learn that not 
everyone expected to just point and go.  But I should perhaps say that 
my scripts use Project-X with no config file.  I think I mentioned that 
in the Mythcutprojectx writeup. You will almost certainly have one, and 
its presence could cause difficulties.
