Hi Hans,


I searched for the files you reffered to and found them in the path

“context\tex\texmf-context\tex\context”. Can I assume most (all?)

commands are defined here?


From what you said, do you mean that the code for a single command

may be split into multiple files?


I found the test files. What a great collection of examples! This sure will help.


Regards,


Thomas Corbière

interaction is mostly dealt with in scrn-* files and strc-ref

don't get too confused by dates of manuals, many commands are still the 
same (maybe extended) like for instance interaction related commands

anyhow, there is a zip with test files on the webbsite that has lots of 
(test) examples, somewhat organized that you can run as test
