Thanks you all once again for your help. I installed pxfonts and the command now
works great and I do get the Palatino output. I am very new to Context and this
last week was mainly a kind of trial to see how I like it. So far I love what I
see. Also, I think the fact that there are so many helpful people here in this
forum has convinced me that if I get stuck with something, which I will, there
are experts whom I could ask for help. Hence, I have decided to use it for most
of my documents. Things are very busy now, and hence for the next month or so I
plan to continue using the version that comes with TeXlive, but after that I
will try to update and get the latest stable version. I hope that in future
Context makes more fonts available. For now it seems I will be using Palatino,
which is good too.

Thanks again.
