Thanks to both you and Taco!

Wow! No, I don't need a counter in that case ;)

Just a little detail: Yes, I want all the graphics except if the user
provides "n={1,3}" or "n=4", then I would like to output only the ones
specified. I know that this is a trivial question, but how do I
extract the argument of "n=..." to \processcommalist on it?

And yet another short&stupid question: when does \c!something=\v!value
work? I tried to change \setupGNUPLOT[terminal=context] into
[\c!terminal=\v!context] (in \unprotect-ed area), but I get a
command-undefined error.

Thanks,
