Hans,
Your reply below was very helpful. I looked at the context command line
options and saw 'make'. After running this, the code changes took effect.
Thankyou.
I could still use help in identifying where equation numbers are defined in
the code so that I can add a tracker. Do you have a suggestion of which
function (or at least lua file) I should look in for this?
I am also curious how hooks are defined, so that I can identify them in the
code and see if there is one that would meek my purpose - also where the
hook scripts are placed so that context can find them.
Thanks again for the reply which got me over the first hurdle.
-Lance

if you patch files that way you need to remake the format file
I don't know what you patch, but changing something in a core file is no
guarantee for the future. It's not a problem to add functionality (lots of
hooks for that) but best do that in a local module that gets loaded at
runtime then.
