There is a set of current target modules, call that set S.  Then:

   :load M1..Mn    =3D=3D=3D>   S :=3D { M1..Mn }
   :add  M1..Mn    =3D=3D=3D>   S :=3D S u { M1..Mn }

In addition, :load unloads all currently loaded modules.  Both commands
initiate a reload starting from the target modules.

Cheers,
