\starttext \show\input \stoptext
When I compile using `context filename` I get: ....
\input=\protected macro: ->\normalinput .
system > tex > error on line 3 in file /tmp/test.tex: ? ... which shows that \input is a protected macro that maps to \normalinput. BTW, you can also run context --pipe to start an interactive session. Aditya

Many thanks, Aditya. This is a way to solve it. Although the error message seems misleading to me. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
