Today I created 6 new projects to run under uVision 3. Every time I had to:

Erm.. a project definition is just a single file (the other one is just desktop settings --- it doesn't really hurt to lose it). So there's no need for a special instruction how to clone a default project: just copy it to a new name/location, and that's that.
"Erm.. a project definition is just a single file (the other one is just desktop settings --- it doesn't really hurt to lose it)." Actually, for C51 projects, the XTAL value is in the .opt file. :-( This is generally not too important, but worth noting. The .opt file also contains your custom file extension definitions, and possibly also custom Books, etc. If you "lose" the .opt file, you will have to re-do all those settings - I generally want the same (or very similar) settings for these options, so I do need to copy both the .uv2 and the .opt file.
I was not aware the .uv2 files were ASCII, and that presents interesting possibilities. I'm going to try to slap together a batch file with a modicum of programmability; will report back here later. Thanks to all who contributed!
