open <project path> [-control <control mode>]

    Opens a project at a given path.  When a project is opened, the previously

    open project is closed if necessary.

        -control        The control mode.  This can be one of "preempt" or

                            "readOnly".  By default, this command attempts to

                            acquire control of the project, which is required 

                            to modify and run computations on the project.  If

                            another application is already in control, the

                            attempt fails, and an error is reported.  If the

                            control mode is set to "preempt", this command

                            will preempt the control of the other application

                            and take control for itself.  If the control

                            mode is set to "readOnly", then control is not 

                            taken, and attempts to save modifications to this 

                            project will fail.

     Note: If a previous instance of the command line or graphical user

     interface had the project open and was prematurely terminated, it may

     erroneously appear to the system that the project is currently under the

     control of another program instance.   In this case, in order to obtain

     control over the project, the "-control preempt" option will need to 

     be used.

    Run 'help general filePaths' for more information about the interpretation

    of relative paths if used when specifying the project path.
