\startTEXpage and alternative=doublesided woes...

[Jacob Peck]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get two pages from a PDF inserted into a document with a 
different paper size (6"x9") which happens to be doublesided...  I want 
the inserted pages to retain their original size (letter), and to be 
centered as they are in the original document, not relocated due to the 
pagelayout set up by doublesided.

When I use

\startTEXpage
\externalfigure...
\stopTEXpage

\startTEXpage
\externalfigure...
\stopTEXpage

I get an extra page inserted between the two that I'm including.

When I use

\setuppagesize[letter][letter]
\copypages[...][n=2]
\setuppagesize[draft][draft]

I get the desired results, aside from the margins... the pages are 
imported into the pagelayout as defined by doublesided.

Help?

Thanks,
-->Jake

Please post a minimum working example that illustrates the problem.
