But I have. Indeed, I completely updated Miktex, downloaded the latest
Context, refreshed filename database, then ran:
texexec --make --alone
This rebuilds cont-en.efmt, cont-nl.efmt, and mptopdf.efmt. You can see
they are new by their timestamps (08/07/2003 09:38 AM).

The command texexec --make --alone also builds metafun.mem in this same
directory. It has to be moved by hand to a different directory.

But again, brand new. All databases are refreshed after this move. There
are no other versions of these format files on my system (I checked).
I've even tried texexec --make --alone --tex=pdfetex metafun and moved the
resulting metafun.mem file over and refreshed the database.
On this file:
input mp-tool;
beginfig(1);
picture p;
p:=textext.rt("Hello, world!");
endfig;
end.
I still get this error:
C:\temp>mpost junk
(junk.mp (C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-tool.mp)
>> unknown picture p
>> textext.rt
! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric).
<to be read again>
(
l.7 p:=textext.rt(

?
I am aware of the new placement of /metapost/context/base.

So, I am absolutely stumped. Is there anything else I can try?
