OK, I think the problem is clear:
old:
./context: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14589 Apr 9 2002 mp-spec.mp
new:
./context/base: total 256 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16828 Jan 15 06:05 mp-spec.mp
(lots of files omitted)
I bet that when creating the metafun format the stuff from the first directory is taken.
So, I have no good advice on how to clean up things. But you need to remove the old stuff and unzip the cont-tmf.zip again.

I feel we have rounded the bend and are galloping for finish line :-) I did as Giuseppe suggested, deleted the files from .../context, left the .../context/base directory intact. Now the error message goes away but the background does not appear. I also added the \setupcolors[state=start] as suggested for my \framedtext example. Here is some interesting stuff from the log file: --------------------------------- systems : end file testmaster at line 31 [flush and process mpgraph.mp afterwards] ) (\end occurred inside a group at level 1) ### simple group (level 1) entered at line 23 ({) ### bottom level ---------------------------------------------- ...and here is the source again: ------------------------------------------ \setupcolors[state=start] \setupoutput [pdftex] \setupurl [style=type] \definepapersize[fullw][width=11in,height=8.5in] % \definetextbackground[bar] [backgroundcolor=gray, backgroundoffset=.25cm, offset=.5cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, color=black] % \definecolumnset[thre][n=3] \setupcolumnset[thre][1][width=4.5in] \setupcolumnset[thre][2][width=3in] \setupcolumnset[thre][3][width=1.5in] % \setuppapersize[fullw][fullw] % \starttext \startcolumnset[thre] Column one (figure) \column Column 2 text. \column \starttextbackground[bar] column three text with background \stoptextbackground \page[new] \stoptext ------------------ Line 23 just contains the text Column one (figure) if i am counting correctly. All help appreciated! I will be away from my computer for three hours (family thing.) John Culleton
