Hi,  
Scripting the “New” command in C# like this: Rhino.RhinoApp.RunScript("-\_New \_Enter", true); doesn’t seem to give any result. Am I missing something?  
Is there a better way to start a new Rhino project in C# ?  
Thank you!

Make sure to add the “script runner” command style attribute. Here is an example.
