Hi Hans,
sorry to bother you again on this topic.
This code works beautifully in this way, with only a few index entries  at the top of the file, before \starttext.
But how can I deal with the thousand or more index items in my project, which I have collected in four separate dedicated files with indexentries, like the three shown in the example-code.
I have really no idea  what else should be in these files,  what sort of name they should have, in particular extension,  and how and where I can input them.
I use TeXShop as my texteditor but that is probably not relevant here.
Can you give me some guidance, please?

         ["galilei"]       = [[Galilei, Vincenzo]],
     }

     function document.loadindexentries(filename)
         local fullname = resolvers.findfile(filename)
         if fullname ~= "" then
             local data = io.loaddata(fullname)
             for a, b  in string.gmatch(data,"%s*(%S+)%s+([^\n\r]+)") do
                 document.indexentries[a] = b
             end
         end
     end

     function document.getindexentry(n)
         local ie = document.indexentries[n]
         if not ie then
             logs.report("index","missing entry %a",n)
