Sorry again for the poor explanation, Wolfgang.
I must recognize that I need this as a workaround to avoid crap at work
(and that is all I’m allowed to explain there).
I need an exact copy of the first page in the documents that only
contain a single page. Sorry, I cannot provide a minimal sample (only an
explanation [and I’m not sure it would be minimal]).
What I discovered after my previous message is that both
"\savebuffer[whatever][αβδ.γεζ]" and
"\ctxlua{os.remove([[\jobname]].."-αβδ.γεζ")}" are portable ways of
creating and removing empty files.

I’m not sure I’m getting this: do you mean something similar to
\typesetbuffer?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
