Thanks for the replies folks.  The example that I posted is a simple
example.  The example that I'm working on (displaying successive terms
in a Taylor series) requires a bit of computations, and I don't want
to have to go back and do each computation for each value of #1.  That
is, I want to build a table of numerical values (numeric Y[][]) and be
able to address those values from my \startMPcode section.

If I have two different \startMPcode ... \stopMPcode sections, is
there a way (perhaps it does this by default) to have the variables
stored in the first block available in the second block?  In pure
MetaPost, I can do

numeric a:=4;
beginfig(1);
    label(decimal(a),origin);
endfig;
beginfig(2);
    label(decimal(a),origin);
endfig;
end

and both figures have the value of 'a' available to them because 'a'
was defined before each figure.  What is the ConTeXt way of doing
this?

Thanks,

Troy
