Dear list,
I have discovered today the \show command in TeX. But I cannot get it
work in ConTeXt:
\starttext
\show\input
\stoptext
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

When I compile using `context filename` I get:
....

->\normalinput .
system > tex > error on line 3 in file /tmp/test.tex: ? ...
which shows that \input is a protected macro that maps to \normalinput.
BTW, you can also run
context --pipe
to start an interactive session.

Many thanks, Aditya.
This is a way to solve it.
Although the error message seems misleading to me.
