in any case ... you need to save and restore the meaning of textext
because we have one session of mp;
begingroup ;
save textext ;
vardef ... ;
plotting like a gnu ... ;
endgroup ;
alternatively we can use a dedicated mp instance; since you only use

like that; next time we meet we should sit down and do that
