Hi there,
I haven't updated my ConTeXt distribution for a very long time (for
the internet connection problem here) and somehow my network
worked, so I use ctxtools --update to make an update. During the
updating, I got some error message like "I can't find mult-def.tex"
and some other files more. Weird, because I do have those files
and kpsewhich can locate them. I just input the needed files WITH
the path and seemed OK. To make sure, I made another ctxtools --update
and this time no error messages.
Anyway, I compiled a used-to-be-working file and failed because
some "Undefined control sequence" and I found the "undefined"
macros are the \c!xxx and \v!yyy macros which I defined them
in
\startvariables all
yyy: yyy
\stopvariables
\startconstants all
xxx: xxx
\stopconstants
any explanations?

Best Regards
Chen

\setinterfacevariable{yyy}{yyy}
\setinterfaceconstant{xxx}{xxx}

Oops. Thanks. Although I think it would be much simpler if we can do this
by using comma lists.
