Hi Taco,

thanks very much for the link.  But, ummm, what it says there seems to
contradict what Wolfgang told me in the other response to my message.

[[ I see Wolfgang edited the \blank wiki page to move the text in question
   to after \starttext, but I'm sure if you don't believe what I say in the
   next paragraph, you can grab the previous version. ]]

Specifically, the example in the (previous) \blank wiki page does, indeed,
have a \starttext and \stoptext.  So, according to the page you mention
above, another \starttext and \stoptext should *not* be added.  And yet the
(previous) \blank page example does print the text (as well as the bullets)
before the \starttext.  Is there a discrepancy between what
.../Help:Context says and what actually happens?

Thanks.
                                Jim
