Exactly. That gets you started by creating the basic directory
structure and files.

Of course. You are running the bare-bones application that quickStart()
created.

That would happen if you cd'd to the new directory and ran quickStart()
again. You can delete that directory.
To get back to your main issue, you need to understand the difference
between working on your app and running your app. 'main.py' is for running the
app. For doing further development on your app, you would either edit the
scripts you create in your favorite text editor, or, if you prefer to use the
visual tools, you would run the Class Designer, the Report Designer, the
Connection Editor, etc., to launch the desired tool. As an example, if you
wanted to edit a form named 'foo' in the ui subdirectory of your app, you'd cd
to your app's main directory (jcmmodel in this case), and then run:
python /path/to/the/dabo/ide/ClassDesigner.py ui/foo.cdxml
