I had not come across them yet. I was responding to Henning's statement that "there are nearly no ready-to-use ConTeXt environments available". In fact I realize I had misread that until right now, having missed the 'nearly' that qualifies the statement. Sorry for the confusion. Also, I don't want it to seem like I don't enjoy rolling my own documents. While I'm new at it, I quite like interfacing with documents in this 'programming' way. Thank you, John C.
