Im sure this will be a simple one but have a project that started as a test.
When it was created it was saved as "Project2.dpr"
Now the test is no longer a 'test', i would like to change the projects name to something more meaningful.
whats the best way to do this?
Any issues with just changing the file name and the Program line to the new name? i.e.
meaningful.dpr
Program meaningful;
Note:Delphi 7 if it matters

In the Project Manager, right-click the file that you want to rename. The context menu is displayed. Choose Rename.
Use the Refactor > Rename identifierType 'identifierName' dialog box to perform rename refactoring on an identifier, such as a variable, type, field, method, parameter, and others currently selected in the Code Editor. In Delphi, you can rename identifiers used with generics.
Just do "Save Project as" from the file menu in Delphi giving it the name you want and, later on when you feel like, remove the Project2.* files from your folder as they are not needed anymore.

FYI: Starting with Delphi 8 you can simply right-click the project in the project manager and select "Rename" (or simply press F2). This has the benefit over the "Save As" approach that you don't end up with a copy.
(sorry, no Delphi 7 - thanks to Lars for the update)
