Hi Irv, It's probably just one line script to be fair anyone that can use pycharm could do it. https://www.hastac.org/blogs/joe-cutajar/2015/04/21/how-make-simple-bash-script-mac
the command you want to run in the script is "pycharm.sh $PWD" and then make that script executable so when you double click on it it execute the command and start the project in the current directory.
