Please, where is the right place?

Indeed no. I gave up when I received the e-mail saying my message was
waiting for approval. I apologise.

No. I am doing exactly that: texexec --xtx myfilename.tex

Right. My Context is from 2007. The point is that I am so clumsy about
installing something on OpenSuse/Linux (I have a Windows machine using
MikTex, suppose that doesn't help) that I do it always on line with a
repo. Download and install rpm packages (or other files) rarely turns
out to be good. But anyway I have tried to install according to the
recipe I found on wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation). Didn't
manage. If you have no other suggestion I can try again and post the
result.

This one: mp-cb-en.pdf. Quoting from page 1:
"CONTEXT expects a plain ASCII input file. Of course you can use any
texteditor or wordprocessor
you want, but you should not forget that CONTEXT can only read ASCII
input. Most
texteditors or wordprocessors can export your file as plain ASCII."
I will try to run the file and I will post the output later on.
Thanks for your patience.
