Dear gang,
In the following, the first table works and the second one does not:

What do I need to do to get this macro right here?
Hi Idris,
I don’t know how you could make it work with TABLE, but your macro seems
to work with xtables:
\setupbodyfont[tt]
    \definefont[ALM][file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 12pt]
    \setupdirections[bidi=global]
\define\NCD{\stopxcell\startxcell\righttoleft}
\setupxtable[width=1in]
\starttext
    \ALM
    \placetable[right,none]{}
    {\startxtable
        \startxrow
            \startxcell Text 2 \NCD النص 2 \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
    \stopxtable}
    \stoptext
Just in case it helps,
Very helpful, I'm switching to xtables. I hope we can get bidi-paragraph  
options for the cell commands built into the core so we needn't write out  
\righttoleft etc.... e.g.

\start-stopxcellR, \start-stopxcellL

Thanks a lot and

Best wishes
Idris
