I still don't have a handle on what its purpose is. Did anyone write a manual on the program or create a comprehensive wiki entry? BTW I solved my problem with texmfstart and with upgrading Context in general by creating the separate, standalone minimal Context-Linux installation as described in an earlier post, which pointed to a long wiki, which fortunately I could take and use as a script. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
