Hans et al,
OK. I repaired this with:
\setuplabeltext[question=]
\setuplabeltext[answer=]
\defineenumeration
[questions]
[location=serried,
text=\blank]
\setupenumerations
[questions]
[before={\page[yes]\unnumberedsubsection{Exercises}\startcolumns[n=2]},
after=\stopcolumns,
number=no]
\defineenumeration
[answers]
[location=serried,
text=\blank]
\setupenumerations
[answers]
[before={\unnumberedsubsection{Answers}\startcolumns[n=2]},
after=\stopcolumns,
number=no]
\def\placeanswers{%
\startanswers
\doifmodeelse{short}
{\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]}
{\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]}
\stopanswers}
\defineenumeration
[question]
[location=inleft,
text=\labeltext{question},
headcolor=heavygreen]
\setupenumerations
[question]
[location=inleft,
headcolor=heavygreen,
stopper=.,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no]
\defineenumeration
[subquestion]
[location=hanging,
headcolor=heavygreen,
conversion=characters]
\setupenumerations
[subquestion]
[stopper=.]
\defineenumeration
[answer]
[location=inleft,
text=\labeltext{answer},
headcolor=heavygreen]
\setupenumerations
[answer]
[location=inleft,
headcolor=heavygreen,
stopper=.,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no]
\defineenumeration
[subanswer]
[location=hanging,
headcolor=heavygreen,
conversion=characters]
\setupenumerations
[subanswer]
[stopper=.]
\defineblock[question,shortanswer,longanswer]
\hideblocks[shortanswer,longanswer]
Now back in business.
Although what is still needed here is a way of "hiding" subanswers.
Suggestions are welcome.
