[NTG-context] macros and buffers

Hi: Recently, I had some data I wanted set using tabulate but in 7 individual buffers. I wanted to use a macro to both create the buffers and do the \starttabulate...\stoptabulate stuff. I found that my macro could create the .tmp file for each buffer but that the files were all empty. Why would this happen, and is there a way to make this work? example: \define[5]\MyBuffers{ \startbuffer[#1] \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC #2 \NC #3 \NR \NC #4 \NC #5 \stoptabulate \stopbuffer } Best Wishes, Matthew Huggett
