All,

1. It seems pretty clear to me that

\starttext

\startbuffer[david]

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their
country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of
their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid
of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the
aid of their country.

\stopbuffer

\getbuffer[david]

\typebuffer[david]

\stoptext

creates a buffer by creating a file, david.tmp, on disk. But how does the
buffer get saved without the logical name, as in

\starttext

\startbuffer

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their
country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of
their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid
of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the
aid of their country.

\stopbuffer

\getbuffer

\typebuffer

\stoptext

2. I am assuming, like dvi files, that it is safe to remove tuo and tui
files from the system, correct?

3. Can somebody describe backspace to me? What exactly, is backspace, in
the layout of a context doc?
