Hi Bruce,

I think your code should read:

  \startluacode
  -- \\dummycommand
  \stopluacode
  \starttext
  Hello
  \stoptext

BTW, in pure Lua:

  a = "\a"
  b = "\\b"
  print(a..b)

outputs "\b".

Sorry, I lack the knowledge to explain this, but backslash seems to be
an special char in pure Lua too.

Just in case it might help,

Pablo
