Really!. That's really a disadvantage of Latex! I thought Knuth's
primitives plus macro's were together 'plain tex' and thus untouched in both
Context and Latex.
Thanks for your help.
The reason to write a booklet in Latex instead of in context was that I
wanted to use some amstex macro's. Is it possible to use amstex in context
as well?

In latex it doesn't work. Latex says that \settabs is undefined. Does anyone know why?
Yes, that's because \settabs is not a TeX primitive and is defined in plain.tex (line 602, \def\settabs{\setbox\tabs\null \futurelet\next\sett@b}). In LaTeX I guess you want to look into the tabbing environment, or the more high-level tabular sort of things.
ConTeXt takes over most of the Plain TeX macros; that's why it's defined here and not in LaTeX.
