Here is a little program that will destroy all your main-
level variables for you:

PRO NO_MAS
END

Whenever you want all main-level variables to disappear,
type this:

IDL> .Run No_Mas

I don't know of any way to re-compile all the currently
compiled procedures and functions, but you might try
catching the names of all the compiled routines with
something like this:

Help, /Routines, Output=theseNames

Then you could parse the "theseNames" string array
and use Resolve_Routine on each of the names.

Are you offering money to the person who writes this
program?

Cheers,

David
