This is something I don't understand.
In the mk.pdf manual on luatex on page 21 there is the following
example:
luatools --ini plain
Instead of the expected output 120,808 plain.fmt etc. I get an error:
"There is no lua initialization file found. ..."
Running "luatools --generate" does not help.
There is a hint: "This file can be forced by the --progname directve,
or specified with --luaname,..."
How can I get a "lua initialization file" in order to not have the
error.
And how do I interpret the hint, as the text of the error message is
too cryptic for me to understand.

luatools --make plain
(this will use the context base lua files)

The ConTeXt tools don't support plain. If you really want a plain
format for LuaTeX you can run luatex -ini instead:
luatex -ini -jobname=luatex plain \\dump
But why do you want plain LuaTeX in the first place? If it's only to
test the mk document, you should realize it's not a user manual.

Why I am doing this? Just because I want to experiment with luatex and
to acquire experience using it. And what better to start with then
examples given in the accompanying document.
It might not be a user manual, but does that mean its information is
not to be used? I am quite aware of the preliminary nature of the
document. That is what this newsgroup is for. By the way, Hans Hagen
in the mean time corrected the call to "luatools --make plain".

in most cases examples in mk should work and if not, they should be
corrected (it's a kind of dev history and i try to keep things up to
date so send patches if needed)
