You might already have what you want. That is, sp'' NB. equivalent to ctrl+,
This takes advantage of how sp utilities track recent files and how the project file SPFILE is carried over sessions. If you have set a project file with spinit;...; then in that session and in future sessions running sp'' will load the project file. In the current release SPFILE and SPXFILE are defined in _jsp_ however I have found I reference them so frequently that the next release defines them in _z_.
