There would need to be some safeguards (Do you REALLY want delete the
current project, etc). The problem as it stands is that first-time users
will have difficulty in figuring out how to delete a project and,
ironically, these are the very people who will be deleting a lot of
projects as they practice using Quanta Plus.  I don't think this is a
big deal either way. I just think leaving it as is gives Quanta a bit of
an incomplete feel.
