Hi Hans,
why has the meaning of the command key changed in MkIV?
In MkII you can define a command which has as many argument as entries in the list.
% engine=pdftex
\usemodule[database]
\starttext
\define[3]\TestCommand{\ruledhbox{#1:#2:#3}}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\starttest
1,2,3
\stoptest
\stoptext
In MkIV the argument of the command key is applied to each entry in the list
and you can’t grab all entries with a single command.
\usemodule[database]
\starttext
\define[1]\TestCommand{\ruledhbox{#1}}
\defineseparatedlist[test][command=\TestCommand]
\starttest
1,2,3
4,5,6
\stoptest
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Probably because it went unnoticed (I'm not using it myself). You can
patch this:
if j == 1 then
context(command)
end
