Robert, The $GARPHOME/gui/mod.c routine BuildFieldList will read both the default and the model specific directories and merges the entries unless there is a model specific file of the same name as the default chapter. You could modify the "Get filtered directory lists" section to read the modeldir first, and only read the chapdir if the routine returns no FDF's- but that requires each model directory to have a copy or link to common functions (unlike nmap2's mod_res.tbl file where each model is listed for a function that it is valid for).
