I am progressing reasonably well with context but I cannot get the btex..etex facility to work. In the texexec manual it says to include the lines
openout_any = a shell_escape = t allow_multiple_suffixes = f TEX = texexec --once --batch in texmf.cnf which I have put in the config file in the highest directory /sw/ using fink as the distribution mechanism. If I manually mpost mpgraph.mp then the generated files get included on subsequent texexec runs. What am I doing wrong? -- Nigel Ps. sorry about the extra 660 lines in previous message "docs for beginners"
