I had a copy of this once but lost it. Where can I find it on the site?

This is an interesting exploration.  And here is an interesting quote:

``Besides that, there are a couple of styles in the regular Context 
distribution.''

What in the distro is identified as a style? I would like a more specific 
reference. I don't recall seeing anything labelled as a ``style'' in the 
distro. 

Like everyone else I would like to see more complete worked examples.
Sorry, that is how we learn. If we copy a code fragment and it doesn't
work we are lost. If we can see the complete .tex file we have a chance at
least of spotting the little piece of code that makes it all work. At the 
moment it is the fancy headers example in the mmakempy.pdf manual that 
has me stumped.

But I love the package overall, of course.

you mean the chap headers? well, that piece of code *is* presented verbatim 
in that file as example

Yes, you did include it, (thanks!) , and I copied it and proofread it. As a 
mentioned in another post the required mpgraph* files are created but they 
are devoid of meaningful content.  Here is a sample:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 0 0
%%Creator: MetaPost
%%CreationDate: 2002.05.14:1139
%%Pages: 1
%%EndProlog
%%Page: 1 1
%%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 0 0
showpage
%%EOF

All of them are like this. 

Either I have left out something vital or included something harmful.
Only by comparing my source file with your source file can I figure out
which. I tried switching to a font that I know works, changing colors etc.

In the same document the flowcharting works without flaw. 

Thanks for any help!

are you sure that pstoedit is installed?
