Ok, all above makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

This is what I don't understand. I was proposing putting
 GEMSTONE_GLOBAL_DIR  inside $GS_HOME but still shared for all stones (not
per stone). Say I put the following in each $GS_HOME/stones/<stone-name>/
custom_stone.env

GEMSTONE_GLOBAL_DIR=$GS_HOME/server/gemstone

Do I understand correctly that, assuming all my stones are managed by
gsDevKit_home, then `stones -i` as well as `gslist` would work correctly?
