Now that works! The error message went away. The program compiles a pdf
file using the Minion Pro font. But the same test.tex program in the
parent directory came up with the same error. So long as I run context
etc. in that new directory, including my own document book.tex
I get good results. When I move to another directory the world goes
crazy again.
I am ready for your next instruction, Sensei Luigi :<)
