+Feature: Command Line
+  In order to manage my stylesheets
+  As a user on the command line
+  I want to create a new project
+
+  Scenario: Install a project without a framework
+    When I enter the command: compass create my_project
+    Then a directory my_project/ is created
+    And a configuration file my_project/config.rb is created
+    And a sass file my_project/src/screen.sass is created
+    And a sass file my_project/src/print.sass is created
+    And a sass file my_project/src/ie.sass is created
+    And a sass file my_project/src/screen.sass is compiled
+    And a sass file my_project/src/print.sass is compiled
+    And a sass file my_project/src/ie.sass is compiled
+    And a css file my_project/stylesheets/screen.css is created
+    And a css file my_project/stylesheets/print.css is created
+    And a css file my_project/stylesheets/ie.css is created
+    And I am told how to link to /stylesheets/screen.css for media "screen, projection"
+    And I am told how to link to /stylesheets/print.css for media "print"
+    And I am told how to conditionally link IE to /stylesheets/ie.css for media "screen, projection"
