All,

Anyone see what I am doing wrong here?

I am getting this error:

It doesn't seem to be the Metapost code, because if you uncomment and  
comment the last few lines like this:

%\startbuffer[combined]
%  \startcombination[2*1]
%    {\processMPbuffer[one]}{(a)}
%    {\processMPbuffer[two]}{(b)}
%  \stopcombination
%\stopbuffer
%
%\startlinecorrection[blank]
%\midaligned{\getbuffer[combined]}
%\stoplinecorrection

\startlinecorrection[blank]
\midaligned{\processMPbuffer[two]}
\stoplinecorrection

It compiles fine. So does this:

I'm stymied.
