How to load ALL context files?

...through SKILL, not by doing, e.g. Options->Save Defaults and choosing "All Possible Tools".

 

 One cheesy way I can think of is to do:

sh("find $CDSHOME/tools -type f -name \*.cxt > contexts")

Then foreach context file, call loadContext() on it. 

I assume there's a better way......

    Hi Andrew, 

    Thank you very much for taking the time during your extended travel to write such a thoughtful reply.

    You have convinced me to do the right thing and avoid using the internal functions, though they are quicker, easier, and more seductive (the Dark Side of SKILL!).
