It seems to me that this:


% 1
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}

externalfigure "mptext.pdf"
	xyscaled (10cm, 8cm)
	shifted (3cm, 6cm);

\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{dummy}

\stoptext

and

% 2

\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{dummy}

externalfigure "mptext.pdf"
	xyscaled (10cm, 8cm)
	shifted (3cm, 6cm);

\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{dummy}

\stoptext



...have the same results.

(these are my pdfs in output:

)

Where am I making a mistake?

So, how do I know all the options I can use? Simply I can't?
