Thanks, everyone, for the ideas and suggestions.
The easiest thing we have come up with so far, in case this helps anyone else,
is to find the shortcut to PyCharm in your Windows Start Menu folder, create a
copy of it called something like "PyCharm - your_env" and edit the target so
that instead of C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\JetBrains\....\pycharm64.exe it
points to cmd "/c activate your_env &&
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\JetBrains\....\pycharm64.exe" (the precise path
to the pycharm64 exe, and obviously the name of your conda environment, will
depend on your installation).
Then just clicking that shortcut will launch a PyCharm within your chosen conda
environment.
