Hallo!

Obviously this autodetectroutine is checking only the präambel.

That means, that the aktual setting in 'texexec.ini' is of no practical
use, isn't it?

And than texexec forgets its smartness?

The whole thing costs me a lot of time. I installed context with
'UserInterface de' without a real idea
what it means. I didn't know if it brings me german messages or an german
interface. Then I forgot
this setting and used english statements. All worked well, until I wrote a
little testfile, without präambel,
and tex complains about \chapter{}. It was very strange!

May be, a warning message would be helpfull, say 'UserInterface doesn't
match initial setting!'
