In case of problems:

\forceMPTEXgraphictrue

% or
%
% \forceMPTEXcheck{lintext}
% \forceMPTEXcheck{logtext}

\startMPcode
draw hlintext.lft(0, 20,  5, 20cm, "@3e") ;
draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10,  9, 10cm, "@3e") ;
\stopMPcode

this is needed in order to trigger the context format alternative.

The @3e syntax is a replacement for the %3e one in john hobbies modules
