This will simply dump the info on the screen but I guess it is trivial to write it to a file, store it in arrays or Types to be used for direct children entity handle access in a game or whatever.
It is useful when you don't know the Chidren Names of a Model and want to know them. Recursive Calls are limited to 50 Generations, edit this if required.

EDIT...
Oops - I have just seen that Rob posted an alomst identical Source... however - no we have a backup :).

; This recursive app will spy a Mesh Hierarchy's 
; Children Names up To 50 Generations.
