Re: meandering paths and names

Hello,

There's still some confusement (;-}) here re filenames.

In my .../tex/context/user/ directory there are files like "font_pos.tex" (note the underscore) and "font_fg.tex" (a personal file
that Taco once wrote for me, it contains my own typicl font things, like definition of \mykap wih true small caps from an expert set
postscript font).

Surprisingly there are similarly named files in .../tex/context/base BUT here the underscore is a dash, like "font-pos.tex"

When i compile  test tex file, I get these lines in the log:

////////////////////

End of file on the terminal!

The log does day that a mapping FG is found, this could be FG.MAP but obviously, FONT-FG.TEX or its file with the underscore is not
found because the definition of \mykap in that file is unknown.

It seems like I am near the solution here, but I feel like I am blindfolded and only touching slightly familiar objects...

Any ideas? Meanwhile, I'll keep on doing the best guesswork I can.
