Delphi doesn't use project files for individual applications - the
project file is the main "program <identifier>; uses <unitlist>; ...
begin ... end." bit.

The command line compiler hardly ever needs a makefile either - just
pass it the main filename and make sure all units are either in the
same directory or on the unit search path in dcc32.cfg.

Maybe it's a lack of experience?
