Hello!

ok, I suppose that you are using first-setup.sh
and
. setuptext
and have a
generally question.

I'm writing several documents with similar structure and design and have
collected all common settings in "settings.tex" like following:

\startenvironment settings
...
...
...
\stopenvironment

and just do the usual invoking by

in

anything.tex

\environment settings

\starttext
...
...
...
\stoptext

I've installed the "minimals" structure in /home/$USER/context/... on my
ubuntu 8.04 machine.

Now to the question:

Where in this "structure" do I place "settings.tex" so it can be found
by context from anywhere in my document-structure?
 tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user
can be a good place


I suppose I should do something like "context --make" after placing the
file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?
first-setup.sh  should not delete your files.

context --generate
context --make
are "safe "
(well, one can always write a malicius tex file that overwrite
tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user/settings.tex ...)
