lines all over the place in my work that compiled fine with the old ConTeX,

down every situation where my previously well-behaved stuff now gives 
errors
because of this.
just put \endinput atthe topmost lin eof supp-dir.tex and remake the format
Those problems I told you about in a private email are still being caused by 
supp-dir, even after  \endinput. I played around with supp-dir and thise 
following works;-)

==========================================================
\unprotect

\chardef\inlinedirection\zerocount % 0==notset 1==LR 2==RL

\beginETEX \beginL

%  \def\pardir#1#2#3% messages end up in a higher level command
%    {\global\TeXXeTstate\plusone
%     \if#2L\chardef\inlinedirection\plusone\else
%     \if#2R\chardef\inlinedirection\plustwo\fi\fi
%     \checkinlinedirection} % needed / added

 %\appendtoks \checkinlinedirection \to \everypar % see core-ini.tex

  \def\checkinlinedirection
    {\ifcase\inlinedirection\or\beginL\or\beginR\fi}

\endETEX

\protect \endinput
==========================================================

It seems that the \checkinlinedirection is still needed or I get other errors.

I hope that you and Adam can up with something that won't kill me next time:-)
