Dear Thomas:

Thank you very  much for your fast response.

Thanks, I see. Unfortunately the wiki page doesn't mention n among the
keywords, and there is one n on the list of the assignments (without
mentioning its function). This might have caused me mixing it up.

I haven't intended to define my own itemize command. I wanted to change
the default settings of \startitemize.  Is this not the proper way to redefine
\startitemize default options? (I wanted to use \setupitemize but
the wiki site directs to \setupitemgroup page.)  The wiki page says that
"\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.]
1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize)".
And if I wanted to setup my own itemize command, should not I define it
first using \defineitemgroup?

Yes, practically you solved my problem.

Thanks again,
