			select an existing Project from the list of projects on the local
			computer. ProWORX 32 creates a copy of the project and uses
			it as the base for the new project. ProWORX 32 initializes the
			logic and clears the traffic cop of the new project. ProWORX 32
			then displays a communications setup step to configure
			communications to the desired controller. On the finish step
			click Finish to complete the new project creation.
		Read from Controller	This option creates a project based on a read of the program
			from an existing controller. ProWORX 32 displays a

			Macro checkbox to create a macro-enabled database. For more
			information, see Macros, p. 214.
