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.
