Sorry, that wasn't really a minimal example.
Here a better file, to show what I'm looking for:
\setupTABLE[textwidth=10cm, option=stretch]
Thank you, Hans! The links you gave me provide me with another useful tool in
my toolbox (which I had not been aware of before).
In this particular case, as Wolfgang pointed out, \in actually does work to get
the desired symbol in math mode. But it is good to know how to use text
substitutions
My sincere apologies. I tried to do my homework to avoid wasting everybody
else's time with a silly question, but apparently I did not do so adequately.
You're quite right -- it works with no problem. It was something else nearby

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I found something weird here.

Hi Sylvain,
on my computer (TL2020) I am not able to compile \blank with any command
defining the dimension (2\paperheight, 0.25\paperheight, .25\paperheight).
I do not know why...
But if I use another dimension, eg. 5*big or 20cc, it works with

After dozens of compilations of various minimal examples using the newly

Removing tex/texmf-cache does not help.
Does anyone know what files context modifies apart from tex/texmf-cache?
