Hello,

studying a visible bug in my 2001.7.11 ConTeXt I discovered that

\doglobal\settrue
and
\doglobal\setfalse

do *not* set true/false globally, but only locally.

Substituting them with they alleged come-out:
\global\chardef\command=0
and
\global\chardef\command=1
does work.

Any ideas on the reason why?

(The bug appeared in the speech stuff, btw. Don't know if it is
apparent with other commands.)
