Hello all,

I have problems to understand the command (parameter) mechanism of context.
My experiments with \getparameters didn't work, so I used \xdescgetparameters
from Giuseppe Bilotta (t-xdesc.tex).
In my eyes they look the same, but \xdescgetparameters works with my sample
code, \getparameters don't. Mhhh....

% t-xdesc.tex
\def\xdescsetvalue#1#2{\expandafter\def\csname#1#2\endcsname}
\def\xdescgetparameters{\dogetparameters\xdescsetvalue}

% syst-gen.tex
\def\dosetvalue#1#2% #3
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] % {#3}}
\def\getparameters   {\dogetparameters\dosetvalue}

This leads me to my two questions:
What must I change, to make my test example run with \getparameters?

Where is the error in my \docommand? All parameters but [height] work and
the tracing output at this parameter (\OTRSETshowstatus) says nothing to me.


for that purpose there is:

\setvariables[namespace][key=value,...]

along with the nicely expandable

\getvariable{namespace}{key}

that's the one i use in styles.
