Steve—

Thanks for the reply, but it seems to me that this will affect only  
the spacing and placement of a footnote number in relation to the  
footnote proper—which is very cool and I will use what you have  
relayed. My immediate problem, however, is the paragraph indent in  
footnotes that have more than one paragraph.

Still, I take it that \setupnote and \setupnotedefinition are the  
commands I need.  Do you know where the documentation is for these  
commands? Is there a way to turn on indentation? I have checked the  
various PDF manuals and  they are not mentioned.
