Hi Tako, thank you for your response.
   
  There is nothing in mpxerr.log. 
   
  When I was trying to use mptopdf to convert mp file to pdf, it didn't produce myfile-1.pdf... type files, even though it said it was converted. So, I looked up this manual
   
  http://tex.aanhet.net/context/mirror/general/sources/mptopdf.pdf
   
  and typed "pdftex --ini mptopdf" at command prompt without understanding. Magically, it produced pdf files, but now metapost doesn't work. Maybe, the process "pdftex --ini mptopdf" had changed the path of metapost execution.

Can you check what is in mpxerr.log? It looks like the 'normal'
latex command in your path has a problem with something, that
does not happen with the executable in texlive's bin directory.

Best wishes,
Taco

Try trunning
    makempx -tex=latex 2MS6.mp
directly. Maybe that gives a better error message

Best, Taco

\question pick up it sargument and uses \par as delimiter, otherwise we could not apply attributes to the question text 

\question is the 'minimalistic approach, 

\startquestion
\stopquestion

is the best way ans works ok here

A better workaround would be \endgraf,
but I think \par should work here, as it works in other
situations outside the block-environment.

I asked myself if this is a little bug or an error of mine.

Why?

Hi,

don't know why there is a problem but \endgraf instead of \par works for me.
