It works with these macros, yes. Thanks.

No, it’s a old command but not very useful for a user.

I do not see it on the Reference page of the wiki.

The original source for the reference pages didn’t provide a way to describe the syntax for \setbuffer but there are also many commands which are undocumented.

Also it doesn't seem in line with ConTeXt's regular naming scheme of \startsomething..\stopsomething. Can you give somewhat more information, for examle what is the difference between \setbuffer and \startbuffer?

\setbuffer can’t be nested like \startbuffer and not a command which should be used in a document. It’s useful for internal use when one write macros where the regular buffer environment can’t be used. Wolfgang
