Just as an experiment, I put some \everypar and \everyhbox statements into an input file and got some pretty nice results (reversed paragraphs and columns) along with a lot of error messages about 'missing \endR'. Of course, it's still pretty crude (page numbers reversed, for example), and I know this is not the way to do it? Is there a 'way to do it' already implemented, or could the ConTeXt gurus add something? It doesn't sound like a lot of extra code. Thanks, Ephraim Yawitz
