[plt-scheme] Project management

No, not from the interactions window. Programs running in drscheme
cannot tell that they are running in drscheme (by design!). Otherwise,
it would be too easy to write a program that would work in the
development environment, but wouldn't work in the deployment
environment.

You can, however, make a tool that would do that.

Open file and open new window already have keybindings, of course. See
the menu shortcuts. Also, control-x control-f opens a new file. (I
don't think that there is anoter way to open a new window, but you
coudl add one with a keybindings file).

Finally, just as a side-note, adding sleeps to avoid timing issues is
a sure way to write buggy code. But, even if you do go to the tool
route, you wouldn't need them. There's only one thread involved.
