That's true. Though the default teTeX setup seems to be (from
texmf.cnf):
% Allow TeX \openin, \openout, or \input on filenames starting with `.'
% (e.g., .rhosts) or outside the current tree (e.g., /etc/passwd)?

Thanks, that was the problem. It was saying 'disabled' instead. The
fix was to change /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf to enable write18. The
shell_escape line has to be set to 't' rather than 'f', i.e.:
shell_escape = t

I'm playing with simple files in order to learn metafun. The following
small example produces an undefined figure. It illustrates either a
context problem or, more likely, a confusion on my part.
