AFAIK, the best bet at the moment is texshow: http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ and put "interaction" in the search field.

As its code is rather tortuous I studied other examples. Up till now this has been quite a time investment without noticeable return, partly due to not finding a comprehensive \*interaction* commands documentation to guide me all along. Therefore, I wanted to give it (and ConTeXt) one last chance by starting from scratch and progress by trial and error. Hence my previous question. Alan P.S. What I meant by texshow being a black hole is: there's a lot of stuff in there, but for the most part (as a user) I don't have a clue what it is and what it means.
