How to open a .CPP file that is not in the current project

Q:  When you open a file that is the main file for another project, Builder in its sillyness wants to close your project and load the one associated with that file. How can I open the file without causing Builder to close my current project and open the one associated with that file?

A:  Aha! You have to know the secret handshake.

If you do a File|Open and leave the default 'files of type' as:  "Borland C++ (*.cpp;*.bpg;*.bpk;*.bpr)", the IDE will always think you want to open a different Project even if you select a "cpp" file.

If you change the selection 'files of type' to:  "Borland C++ Source (*.cpp)", the IDE will simply open the "cpp" file only and leave your currently open project alone.
