I, apparently, do not understand the syntax and/or uses of /def. I am
trying to make section heads appear in all caps and underlined. I
originally tried to just use \setuphead, but found that I using the
"textcommand" option I could only either capitalize or underline and
not both. I then figured that using a macro was my next best option.
Below is what I tried and it does not work. Can someone tell me what
I am doing wrong?
\def\mysectionhead{\WORD\underbar}
\setuphead[section]
[number=no,
textcommand=\mysectionhead,
style={\tfa\bf}]
Thanks,
Mike

Both commands take parameter and in your example you pass \underbar
as argument to \WORD.
Two solution are possible for your problem.
1. You define a command with one argument and use both commands
nested, it is important to use deeptextcommand for the \WORD style.
\define[1]\mysectionhead{\underbar{\WORD{#1}}}
\setuphead
[section]
[number=no,
deeptextcommand=\mysectionhead,
style={\tfa\bf}]
2. You ca use both text commands and pass one with textcommand and
another one with deeptextcommand.
\setuphead
[section]
[number=no,
textcommand=\underbar,
deeptextcommand=\WORD,
style={\tfa\bf}]

Ah, I think I see. So "\define[1]\mysectionhead{\bfa
\WORD{\underbar{#1}}}" would also be valid. Is \define a context
equivalent to the \def command for tex? I couldn't find much
documentation on it.

\define is ConTeXt's equivalent to \newcommand in LaTeX, you can set
with the optional parameter the number of arguments. It makes a check
if the command you create is already defined and writes a message to
the terminal.
Usage:
\define\commanda {First Command}
\define[1]\commandb{Second command: #1}
\define[2]\commandc{Third command: #1 #2}
\starttext
\commanda
\commandb{text}
\commandc{text}{text}
\stoptext

See
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#Formatting_Titles_with_.5Csetuphead
and try to use deeptextcommand instead.

Yes, I think I may have an older version of context here at work. I
was able to use the deeptextcommand at home, but here at work it
wasn't working. It doesn't seem to be recognized. Was it a later
implementation perhaps that an older version wouldn't have?
