Hi Wolfgang,

I do apologize.

ConTeXt, does have the functionality that I was suggesting.
I must say though that it seems just 2-3 weeks young and
searching for the command defineparagraph brings up
Nil on ConTeXt Garden. Thank, you for the example.

Yet, is not quite what I had in mind. But, that does not matter for right now.
Hans already said it is non trivial to get the functionality of what 
I has suggest. Which was to introduce the concept of a "paragraph" into
ConTeXt that TeX does not have and not have to use startparagraph and
stopparagraph all the time for a "standard" paragraph.

Yes, Yes, I know how to use setupbodyfont, setupdenting, and the likes
for that!

I was aware that I could develop my own environments for paragraphs

The paragraph environment does pretty much close the gap and it will be very beneficial 
to the beginners and converts.

Thanx to whoever did the work and to you, too.

regards
	Keith.
