I must say thank you very very much!

In fact I've been looking for \iint in ConTeXt in the last two days -_-
so i'll try to use \int\!\!\!\int instead of looking for a ConTeXt implementation :)

I met another problem today. Since there are not as many arrows in ConTeXt as there
in AMS-LaTeX,I don't konw how to type the formula in the attached picture which will
be referred in my presentation next Monday.
