Thanks.... I was aware of that.. I just tought (or I should say I had
imagined) that texexec was taking care of all steps...

Let me take again your time, sorry but being alone w/o teachers in my
istitution and moving to ConText is not that easy. Running the example

\starttext
\startMPcode
 graphictext "MP" scaled 8 reversefill
  withdrawcolor .7blue withfillcolor .7white
  dashed evenly withpen pencircle scaled 1pt ;  
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

I obtain  an almost empty page with just page number 1 at top and
several warning (maybe unrelated to the result)

pdftex         : needs map file: original-context-symbol.map
pdftex         : needs map file: pl0-ams-cmr.map
pdftex         : needs map file: original-vogel-symbol.map
