I do know nothing before yesterday about Context & Set, I only re-edited
your code :)
I think so too, only open-catalog and make-catalog, perhaps get-languages
and load-locale, should be global.

I had a multi-path searching routine, the default pathes are:
catalog-multi-path: [%./ %catalog/ %//rebol/view/catalog/]
Application maker can add one or more pathes by using add-catalog-path
(extra-pathes maybe URL), all extra-pathes are added at the head of block,
because programmer knows better of us where he put catalog files ;)
We should add a kind of application specific catalog multi path system:
multi-path-list: [
app1-multi-path: [%./ %catalog/
%//rebol/view/catalog/]
app2-multi-path: [http://www.xyz.com/catalog/
http://www.mirror.net/app1/catalog/ %./ %catalog/ %//rebol/view/catalog/]
app3-multi-path: [%./ %catalog/
%//rebol/view/catalog/]
]
catalog-multi-path: select multi-path-list app-name
Now there is a catalog caching system, so if application is run more than
one
time in the same rebol session there is a big speedup or if its catalog
was read from and URL only first time it is necessary to be connected.
Open-catalog has a refinement to flush catalog cache: refresh, useful for
developing & debugging.

Yep! I'm a very clever guy :P But I don't know how to retrive this kind of
information :(
There is a newest version at:
