Mike,
no worries, that doesn't sound stupid. Silly perhaps :) The reason you
have to select the catalog before CdC 'knows' to search it is that some
catalogs are huge and always searching every catalog would impede
performance. In addition you don't want to add a catalog each time you
want to use it and remove it when you're done. I'm sure it makes sense
to you now with the benefit of hindsight :)
I have no experience with the Gliese catalog, sorry.
