In BlackBox, for my own convenience, I wrote a module called MyProject 
what allows me to specify a single root module from which I can compile 
all dependent modules and unload all dependent modules.  This is useful 
if one modifies a module somewhere in the hierarchy and then needs to 
test the result (hence all modules need to be unloaded).  MyProject 
scans the IMPORT lists of all modules starting at the root.  It excludes 
BlackBox system modules.
