[Sorry I left out the subject before]
Dear gang,
What is the best way in ConTeXt to define a word so that is does not
hyphenate. E.g.,
\def\SAN{\hbox{{A\d{s}-\d{S}an\={a}`ah}}}
\SAN{} this is a test
\bye
does not work; it creates an unwanted line break (anyone know why?)
Best wishes
Idris

That's because you stay in vertical mode. Your paragraph only starts
with `this is a test.' You need to esplicitely enter horizontal mode:
\def\SAN{\leavevmode\hbox{{A\d{s}-\d{S}an\={a}`ah}}}

Ahh! Thnx, Denis.
Supplementary question: is there a ConTeXt-specific way to do this sort of
thing?
