Seb --
A global directory maps a subset of the global variable name space
(subset can include the entire global variable name space) to a set of
database files.
Some of this is explained in the GT.M Acculturation live CD 0.4 (which
you can download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sanchez-gtm).
Burn it and boot it on a PC with a 512MB or bigger USB drive, and go
through the exercises, including the discussion of the global
directory file. Errata: where it says count=3D716800 for the dd
command, use count=3D800000.
