Re: [NTG-context] Understanding the basics of \define
Thank you everyone for your help! Quite excited about having so much
for me to learn. This mailing list is immensely helpful indeed. So,
both solutions worked for me, but I've decided to stick to the one
that uses comma separated list having adapted to my needs the code
kindly offered by Wolfgang (it would take me a while to figure out the
solution myself).
Kind regards, Pavel.

Perhaps you might want to do something processing a comma separated
list:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Comma_Separated_Lists
A short example can help to show how it can be used:
\def\test
{\dosingleargument\dotest}
\def\dotest[#1]%
{\starttabulate
\NC 1 \EQ \getfromcommalist[#1][1]\commalistelement \NC\NR
\NC 2 \EQ \getfromcommalist[#1][2]\commalistelement \NC\NR

[NTG-context] Understanding the basics of \define
Hello:
I'm struggling with understanding the way \define is supposed to work.
I would like to have a macros to generate tables and populate them
with some specific data submitted as arguments. I apologize for my
lack of understanding of the very basics, but e.g. the following code
just doesn't compile:
\define[1]\mytable{
\startxtable
\startxrow
\startxcell #1 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable}
\mytable{abc}
I would appreciate your help and maybe some references to read (if
any) in order to educate myself.
Kind regards, Pavel.

Re: [NTG-context] Understanding the basics of \define
Thank you, Wolfgang! Much to my delight, \startembeddedxtable works
indeed, however, when I increase the number of arguments up to 10
--- to use the simplest example possible, without any tables:
\define[10]\myText{#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10} --- it doesn't work
again (works fine with 9 arguments). Am I correct assuming that
there's an inherent limitation to 9 arguments only or the 2+-digit
numbers should be written somehow differently? Is there any
workaround?
Kind regards, Pavel.

The problem in your example isn’t define but the stable which uses a buffer
to collect the content and buffers and be used in \def or \define commands.
What you can do in this case is to replace \startxtable with
\startembeddedxtable
and change your code to
\dfeine[1]\mytable
{\startembeddedxtable
\startxrow
\startxcell#1\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopembeddedxtable}

Re: [NTG-context] Understanding the basics of \define
To answer my own question. I think I've solved the problem by
splitting a macros into several ones and then nesting them into each
opther. A sort of a clumsy solution but it works. Kind regards, Pavel.

Re: [NTG-context] Understanding the basics of \define
..Alas, I was too hasty to congratulate myself as it obviously doesn't
work as intended (the arguments in the nested function get hard-coded
and are of no use). :) So I'm still looking forward for ConTeXt
masters to enlighten me.
Kind regards, Pavel.

[NTG-context] Installation problem
Dear ConTeXt developers and users,
Please excuse me for bothering you with such a trivial question, but I
still would really appreciate your help.
I've downloaded the current ConTeXt version and generated the format
files. Now, when I try to invoke texexec to process a test file
(\starttext Test \stoptext) the script complains the following way:

Could you please advise me what I'm supposed to do to have the metric
files found and whether I must update my obsolete pdfTeX and eTeX to
handle the problem.
Also, I'm interested if Russian language is supported by ConTeXt out of
the box or not.
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
Pavel Stupin.

[NTG-context] \index + \definedescription
Hello,
In my document, I have a description defined in this way:
\definedescription[DictEntry][headstyle=bold,location=serried,width=broad]
I use the DictEntry description like this:
*
\startDictEntry{Walters, Barbara (1931- )}
a US television journalist known especially for her series
Barbara Walters Special...
\stopDictEntry
\startDictEntry{Waterhouse, Keith (1929- )}
an English journalist and writer of novels and plays...
\stopDictEntry
\startDictEntry{West, Rebecca (1892-1983)}
an English writer and journalist. She wrote many novels...
\stopDictEntry
... etc.
*
What I would like to do is to automatically create an \index{}
for every DictEntry so that every entry then appear in the
register. Probably, I should use 'between' parameter when
defining my DictEntry description, but I'm confused with what
should be the proper argument in 'between=\index{???}. I would
appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance.
Best, Pavel.
