Thanks, Hans,

I was starting to look at that, and I thought that the mode that it
triggered meant that all I had to do was \naturaltextexttrue (but I still
don't understand your \newif mechanism really.) That turned out to be wrong.

All I needed to do the initial bit of what I wanted was to do this:
\setuptyping[text=yes,ccommand=\rm]

...which was a lot simpler than I expected from the manual ["icommand
(for identifiers),
vcommand (for variables) and ccommand parameters (for the rest)."] 

I *think* I've learned enough from core-ver, verb-ini, verb-pl, and verb-
js that I think I can fake my own mode. The above may well be enough.

I looked at that earlier, and my problem was getting it to trigger in
included \typefile's.

Thanks,
adam
