GDS files, unlike CIF, are apparently stored as a list of cells without
reference to where the top of the hierarchy is.  Presumably the hierarchy
can be determined from context, but magic doesn't do this (though I'm
tempted to write in the capability, since it should not be too difficult).
Magic will always have a top level cell "(UNNAMED)" and if you try to
write back the file, it will attempt to save "(UNNAMED)" along with the
rest.  However, there is a new (and unfortunatly not well documented)
command called "listall" which lists all the cells loaded from the GDS.
"listtop" will list the top-level cell(s), "list" will show all children
of the current cell, and "parent" and "child" will list the parent and
children of the selected cell, respectively.
