But I have. Indeed, I completely updated Miktex, downloaded the latest
Context, refreshed filename database, then ran:
texexec --make --alone
This rebuilds cont-en.efmt, cont-nl.efmt, and mptopdf.efmt. You can see
they are new by their timestamps (08/07/2003 09:38 AM).

The command texexec --make --alone also builds metafun.mem in this same
directory. It has to be moved by hand to a different directory.

But again, brand new. All databases are refreshed after this move. There
are no other versions of these format files on my system (I checked).
I've even tried texexec --make --alone --tex=pdfetex metafun and moved the
resulting metafun.mem file over and refreshed the database.
On this file:
input mp-tool;
beginfig(1);
picture p;
p:=textext.rt("Hello, world!");
endfig;
end.
I still get this error:
C:\temp>mpost junk

Nigel et al,
OK> Nigel's suggestion compiled. Now, back to where this question
originated. This file:
\setupoutput[pdf]
\runMPgraphicstrue
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}
picture p; numeric w, h, o;
p:=textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame});
w:=OverlayWidth; h:=OverlayHeight; o:=BodyFontSize;
p:=p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p); draw p;
drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red);
draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p, h) ;
draw boundingbox p;
setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled (w,h);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}]
\defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame]
\def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText}
\def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText}
\def\FrameTitle#1%
{\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em {\hss\strut#1\hss}}}
\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{}
\starttext
\FrameTitle{Zapf (1)}
\StartFrame
Coming back to the use of typefaces in electronic
publishing: many of the new typographers receive their
knowledge and information about the rules of typography from
books, from computer magazines or the instruction manuals
which they get with the purchase of a PC or software.
\StopFrame
\stoptext
When saved as meta.tex and compiled with texexec --pdf meta, gives this
error:
(mpgraph.mp (C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-tool.mp)
(C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-spec.mp)
(C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-grph.mp)
(C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-page.mp)
(C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-core.mp)
>> unknown picture p

! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric).
<to be read again>
(
l.223 p:=textext.rt(
"\hbox spread 1em {\hss \strut Zapf (1)\hss }");
Nigel, does this file give same error on your system, or does it compile?
Thanks.

this is just calling metapost with mp-tool
you may try "input metafun" instead

Hans,
I have this one figured out. Nigel sent me the same suggestion. It's still
the FunnyFace that is not going, as I wrote in my followup to Nigel and
the Context list.
That's the one that is preventing progress through that particular example
in the metafun manual.
Most everything else is working in the metafun manual thus far.

Uh ... that's metapost/base, not metapost/context/base
Make sure you have nothing but the /base/ subfolder under
metapost/context
