Description

I have multiple cscope databases to refer to at once. Is there any way in which I can add all the database to the search list? Basically, I want to add multiple directories to cscope-set-initial-directory, but once I add a new directory, only that directory remains, and the previous ones are discarded. Same functionality can be achieved in vim by the command :cscope add <path to database>

Please excuse if this is a rookie question as I'm not very familiar with lisp.

Research direction

Start at cscope-set-initial-directory and compare its behavior with Vim's :cscope add command described in the issue. Determine how multiple directories should be retained in the search list, then verify that adding another directory no longer discards earlier entries.
