The RJ Mical file requester seems to implement all of your requsted features
(caching, leaving pointer fixed among separate invocations).  One thing that I
really don't like (for example) of the new Arp1.3 file requester is the fact 
that each time I the programs call it, it recomputes the list of files  
again. Is this an inherent flaw of the file requester or of the application 
program that uses it?

BTW, the RJ mical file requster is not reentrant but can be "multiply" 
instantiated.
