05/06/22: No document at startup
To open Catia without opening a new document at startup, you need to set an environment variable in Windows XP. As a default, Catia will start each new session with a CATProduct file. Following this procedure will allow the user to turn the default document option off, and eliminate the need to close the file, and open (or start) a different file.
