\externalimage at the start of line

\externalimage at the start of line

[Dean]

I've just started using ConTeXt and I have run into a small problem
that may be a bug.  I'm trying to include a graphics file inline with
text.  For my page headers, I need the image to appear at the start of
a line.  If I use the following commands:

\externalimge[logo] Some text here

It gets rendered as

<logo>
Some text here

I'd like to get

<logo> Some text here

\externalimage works fine in other places where there is some text
preceding it, but I need to have the case where no text preceeds it.
I image there are some workaround to this, but as I am fairly new to
ConTeXt I am not sure the best way to go about it.  If anyone could
help me solve this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dean

put \dontleavehmode in front of the command; has to do with h/vmode
