I fell into this trap because either the Beginner's manual or some other 
specifically says to run TeXexec instead of ConTeXt -- since (it says) 
TeXexec will run automatically as many times as needed.  The implication 
is that TeXexec is "smarter" than ConTeXt.

I am brand new to ConTeXt and wanted to learn "the new stuff" and not 
spend any time with MkII, and I was surprised to see the difference 
between the two tools.

[Update: the "First Document" tutorial suggests using TeXexec ... and 
that's probably where I first went wrong.]

Tom.
