Thanks, the problem was that I was using an older version of context that
came with teTeX, and didn't have this feature.
Also, I only found by experimenting that the direction I wanted was
'left', i.e., towards the left.  I think most Hebrew speakers would call
this 'right', meaning right-to-left, and this is the convention used in
etex's primitives, \beginR, beginL, etc.  Don't jump to change this, but I
thought you would be interested.  

Thanks again,

Ephraim
