If you had to name the core TeX-commands something, what would it be?

the normal word is "primitives". If that can't be done, using "initex" make most sense. We often use the word 'core' to refer to ConTeXts macro commands (as Hans said already). Cheers, Taoc

What I meant was, the commands defined in the TeX-executable itself, i.e., stuff like \def, \global, ....

I think that initex makes the most sense considering the options.

ctxtools can list them (e.g. --sciteinterface gives several classes of primitives, macros, etc) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
