AutoGenerate and .opt files: If an .opt file is referenced in a .pln file or selected as a
file to Generate from, AutoGenerate will parse the .opt file, find references to UseFiles=,
and include any files referenced here in the Project Explorer, with the exception of .inc
located in the SilkTest extend directory. It will not automatically add
...\extend\filename.inc files to the project. However, you can manually add these files to
your project.

If you add an options set to the project and want to use it, you must load it into memory:
on the Files tab, expand the Profile node, right-click the options set you want to load,
and then click Open Options Set. Note that double-clicking an options set opens it for
editing, but does not load it into memory; see Using options sets in your project in the
online Help for more information.
