Hi Hans,
sorry to bother you again on this topic.

This code works beautifully in this way, with only a few index entries  at the top of the file, before \starttext. 
But how can I deal with the thousand or more index items in my project, which I have collected in four separate dedicated files with indexentries, like the three shown in the example-code.

I have really no idea  what else should be in these files,  what sort of name they should have, in particular extension,  and how and where I can input them.
I use TeXShop as my texteditor but that is probably not relevant here.

Can you give me some guidance, please?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
