vhdl-mode emacs - what does creating a Project do?

[BlackHelicopter]

Why create a vhdl-mode project and what does it do? Is it for creating a heirarchical view of the entire design?

Also, how do I use it once I create one and where do I see the results.. in the speed bar?

Finally figured this one out on my own..

I found out it's a little confusing at first to configure a project correctly, but after that initial learning curve the results are well worth it. I have to say the speedbar hierarchy is very nice along with the tags that take you to the specific vhdl files. The guy who made this major mode must be a genius! This is pretty sweet glad I figured it out.
