Trouble with Index

Trouble with Index

[cidadaum]

So far I have not succeded to make an index in a book I am typesetting.
I write something like:
\starttext
\defineregister[index][indices]
\index[Tantrum]Tantrums can be normal for  
\index[tantrum][tantrum+toddlers]toddlers. Young children have them for
many reasons like being tired, feeling out of control, over-stimulated,
or wanting something they can't have.
General hints: Toddlers and preschoolers cannot regulate themselves
because they don't yet know their own limits.
\completeindex
\stoptext

And the message I get is: "index not found/processed". In the pdf  
appears a page with Index but no entries.

Prdefined, can be omitted.

Indeed. Question to the developers: given that our rule of thumb is  
"material within {} will be typeset; material within [] is for setups  
etc.," wouldn't it make sense to have the command as index[]? (Maybe  
with an alternative \index{} which will typeset the word AND put it in  
the index?)

Ok, but what am I doing wrong? Should I typeset \index[] or \index{}?  
Or am I missing some trick? Or is this problem  waiting for solution.
I have put both ways in my file and the page with Index is still empty.

\starttext

Tantrums\index{Tantrum} can be normal for
toddlers\index{tantrum+toddlers}. Young children have them for
many reasons like being tired, feeling out of control, over-stimulated,
or wanting something they can't have.

General hints: Toddlers and preschoolers cannot regulate themselves
because they don't yet know their own limits.

This did not harm but "\index" is already defined in core-reg.tex and you need
\defineregister only if you want to use more indices.

Make a example where we can reproduce the error.

I have made a file with this post and I have managed to do an index.  
But with another file I got this message:
system          : index not found/processed
! Extra \endgroup.
\doplaceregister ...packed \stopcolumns \endgroup
                                                   \fi
\docompleteregister ...ter [\currentregister ][#2]
                                                   \page [\v!yes ]\endgroup \fi
<to be read again>
                    \par
l.2984

?
[42.42]
! Extra \endgroup.
\docompleteregister ...2]\page [\v!yes ]\endgroup
                                                   \fi
<to be read again>
                    \par

Is there something wrong I am doing.
At the beginning I put this:
\defineregister[index][indices]

and \completeindex at the end.

Thanks.
Armando
