[NTG-context] mptopdf
All, I sent this to OS X TeX list, but perhaps I can get some
guidance here?
All,
After installing MacTeX (textlve2008), mptopdf fails:

No good. Same error as above after update.
Any suggestions?

[NTG-context] Embedded fonts question
Greetings all, A sad story: My context-typeset dissertation was printed/distributed by a POD publisher with aweful typographical errors (like all commas in the main font being replaced by an ff ligature). Obviously the printer didn't check their results. The file reads fine both for me and the publisher, but the printer let us know that the file is unprintable due to problems with fonts not being embedded (why they originally printed an unprintable file I'll never know). Now as far as I can tell, fonts are embedded. It was made with context MKII, using hz and hanging punctuation, etc. When I look at the document in Adobe Acrobat, and check the document/font details, it gives a list of embedded fonts only. I'm not certain that the printer is in the right, but how can I tell? Is it possible that the pdf was altered when transferred from me to the publisher then to the printer? That compression of the pdf (zip) had any impact? Any other possibilities? What do you need to know to offer advice? ---I can send the file or a part of it if it is needed.

Hi David, if the printer didn't alter the file and the fonts were embedded in the original PDF document, they didn't vanished. The zip compression doesn't alter those things (AFAIK). A way to check whether the fonts are embedded or not, you can download ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.02pl2-dos6.zip (if you are using Windows) and run from the command-line pdffonts dissertation-filename.pdf Replace dissertation-filename.pdf with the actual file name and pdffonts will display all font information. If this is too complicated for you, send me the original file in a private reply and I will post the results. I hope it helps, Pablo Thanks, Pablo and Luigi, I was able to run pdffonts and check my file, it agrees with adobe acrobat in saying that all fonts are embedded. SoI'm going to send the publisher the current file and see what happens. I'm only 98% sure that it's exactly the same as the original file I sent, so I am slightly hopeful that it will work out better. Thanks again for your quick responses, David ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Miktex
Mojca, I saw your note on blog.miktex.org: If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed, you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 \miktex\bin with the content: @echo off ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb %* and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: \Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and generate formats, and everything should work again. Mojca I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck. At the dos prompt: $ texmfstart --help Worked just fine. However, $ texmfstart texexec --help Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do: $ texmfstart texexec --make --all Or some such thing.

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex
Mojca, I a hopeless mac user at home now. I used to be pretty good with miktex, even working with hans to test the settings that now exist in the texexec.rme file, back in the days when we made that an .ini file in Miktex. But no longer. It's our school machines I am trying to configure, PC's with Windows XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ something or other and updating the filename database to no avail. I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different machines, Thanks so much. David.

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip
I followed these directions exactly and scite is working out of the box on mswincontext.zip. To remove RubyGems from a single Ruby installation, from the site_ruby/1.8 directory of that installation, remove: * rubygems.rb (file) * rubygems (directory) If you do not have RubyGems installed in other Ruby installation directories, you can also remove the following files from whatever command directory is listed in your PATH: * gem * gemwhich * gem_server * gem_mirror * generate_yaml_index.rb And if you are removing RubyGems completely, don't forget to remove the RUBYOPT environment variable from your environment. Without actually trying it, I think that will do it. D. I also added import metapost in scite, but not all of the menu items on the tool menu work, in fact most of them don't work. Ctrl+6 doesn't open the console, I can't get gsview to work instead of gv, etc. D.

[NTG-context] mswintex.zip versus mswincontext.zip
Hans et al, For our students, I need to have Miktex and at least one of these distributions (mswintex.zip or mswincontext.zip) coexisting side by side. I've got Miktex installed and working with the Texniccener IDE for student use. Now, I need to get context and metapost working properly (no longer any mptopdf in the Miktex distro). Students don't deal well with DOS boxes and terminals at first (they can grow into them), so what I need is a scite icon on the desktop, that when clicked, will open and work (for context and metapost). I had already loaded mswintex.zip on each machine in our lab, run first-setup.bat. I also installed Scite by downloading from the scintilla site. I finally figured out that you need to import context in the Globals, though (the http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ mscite-p.pdf said it should work in user as well, which I could not get to work. So, as I understand it now, the difference is the mswincontext.zip comes with perl and ruby, but we already have perl and ruby installed. If I get rid of the gems (how?) then I should be able to make progress? What I need is students to have both scite and texniccenter running at the same time. What are my best options? Thanks.

[NTG-context] Some Progress on Installing mswincontext.zip
All, As Idris and Hans expected, Ruby was the culprit. I had installed Ruby before downloading mswincontext.zip, as that was what I used to do in the old days with a Miktex installation. After following exactly these directions: http:// blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/173018 Scite now works on context documents. I tried to add metapost.properties to the global with import metapost. I can Build a file, but the Go command does not work because I don't have gv installed. So I opened metapost.properties and tried changing the gv command to gsview32 (and even tried c: \Program Files\ghostgum\gsview\gsview32.exe), but neither worked. Any suggestions how I can get the go command to work? Secondly, what would I do to compile a metapost file in scite directly into PDF? I am aware of context way with processMPbuffer and other assorted tricks, and I am aware of mptopdf, but what I am looking for is to configure Scite to compile the metapost file and open it in acrobat reader. Here is the test file I am trying to compile. beginfig(1); numeric u; 10u=4in; drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0); drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u); endfig; end.

Re: [NTG-context] mswincontext.zip
Idris, Thanks. I'm a Mac person at home now, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to give this a try on a windows machine at school. What I'll try (unless I get further advice from this list) is download mswincontext.zip again, uninstall it, and NOT run first-setup.bat. Regarding Ruby, I am looking at this page: http://www.ruby-lang.org/ en/downloads/, where it seems like I have two options: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29263/ruby186-26.exe And: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-i386- mswin32.zip Not sure I see anything on this page about without RubyGems.

I don't know one way or the other about this. I do know that there are only a few people (fewer than ten) who can even think of fixing it.

From my own selfish point of view, the solution is simple. A freeze on all code, not even allowing bug fixes, until there's a comprehensive and unified document written by Hans and Taco (plus whoever else) that explains how to use all the features of ConTeXt, covering absolutely all possibilities including any features that are currently half-finished. Unless a new bug is introduced tomorrow that makes all ConTeXt projects come out completely blank, the nonexistent documentation makes all other bugs insignificant. (In fact, many apparent bugs turn out to have secret workarounds anyway, and those would obviously be in the documentation.) I know that such a project is viewed by Hans and Taco co. as a waste of their time, and as something that should be done only after the current burst of development is finished. - It's already proven that development isn't going to finish, but evolve. - No one else can document ConTeXt without bothering the same people every five minutes anyway, so what's the difference? - Documentation *could* be maintained and updated by someone outside of the small group, *IF* there was a reasonably up-to-date base of correct and complete documentation for them to start from. Currently, there is no such thing. Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to publicly set a date in the near future (sometime before the end of 2008) as code-freeze day, when development comes to a complete stop and the documentation project begins. Bringing a writer from outside and getting him up to speed has obviously become completely impractical.

[NTG-context] Generating a list of items
Hi all
I'm teaching some classes this summer, and want to make myself a
template for lesson planning. One of the things that I'd like to be
able to include, if it works easily, is an automatically-created list
of the materials I need to remember to bring. My intention is that I
will only have to type the name of my materials once, while composing
the plan itself, and have ConTeXt extract all the names and place them
in a list in the same document.
I expect this means I would define something like \Materials , and then
while typing the main text of my plan be able to type
\Materials{Photographs} or \Materials{Sound Recording} and then have
ConTeXt generate a list of all the items like this ...
Materials: 1. Photographs 2. Sound Recording
... near the top of the page.
I've tried using \placeregister, but it seems to insist on printing a
page number for each item and alphabetical headings as in an index. I
would like to get a simple, numbered list of items. Can I tweak the
\register commands to do this, or perhaps is there something else I
should try?

Have you looked at lists (like table of contents, list of figures etc.). I
think that the main manual explains how to create new lists.
I thought I had looked there, but I was wrong. A list similar to a

Hi all (and thanks for the help lately with tables etc.) I have been running mkiv on a mac (powerpc, OS 10.4) with no problems, in conjunction with a TeXLive installation. I have updated this setup several times, by downloading the latest luatex and latest context from their respective sites, and following instructions previously sent to this list regarding making files executable and creating a couple of links. Lately, it seems that minimals from the contextgarden wiki are becoming the accepted standard, so I decided to switch.

[NTG-context] page numbering question
Hi, I have been searching contextgarden.net and the manuals at the Pragma website for more than an hour now, and I have yet to find a way to have ConTeXt decide in two-sided mode that the last page of a book chapter is a even numbered page without anything on it and therefore will also not have a page number. I probably can manually effect this by carefully inserting \setuppagenumber commands which start and stop the state, but that's not a very general solution. Will someone please point me to appropriate documentation or an example. Thanks, Dave -- home address: 12 Linden Rd., E.

Re: [NTG-context] page numbering question
I am not sure what you want. Do you want the last page of chapters to be numbered or do you want them to be completely empty? I want even numbered last pages of chapters which have no text or images on them to be completely empty. I tried various versions of the code for Truly empty page breaks at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles that Jörg's message about \definepagebreak led me to, and I tried various versions of the additional discussion about Again: How to make empty pages by default empty? from November 2003 in the NTG-context archives. I couldn't make any of that work within the last half hour or so. Thus, I have now changed my macro which begins chapters so it turns off page numbering before the \chapter call and turns page numbering back on after some text has been place on the first page of the chapter and that now does what I want. So, that's kind of a brute force approach to getting these completely blank pages automatically. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. -Dave ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] page numbering question
Does this do what you want (at least in this test case)
\definepagebreak
[mychapterpagebreak]
[yes,header,footer,right]
\setuphead
[chapter]
[page=mychapterpagebreak]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={header,margin}]
\setupheadertexts[{My special headertext}]
\setupfootertexts[This is a text in the footer]

\chapter {testA} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\chapter {testB} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\chapter {testC} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte }
\stoptext
I thought I tried that on my book and it didn't work.
My actual situation is more complicated with declarations
of front matter, depositing of \completecontent, etc.
However, I have now done it with the test case expanded
to mimic my real situation and it does seem to work.
I'll try it in my real file (again?).

[NTG-context] problem using protrusion and hz

Adytia pointed me to some examples at

\setupindenting[none]
\setuphead[chapter][number=no]
\setupheader[state=none]
% Enable colors and activate hyperlinks

\useURL[mywebsite][{http://www.walden-family.com/dave}][][www.walden-family.com]
\starttext
...
\stoptext
and I get slightly different results if lines 1 and 2 versus 3 and 4
are in or out, or if both pairs of lines are commented out. If, however,
I try this with the real 215 page book I am compiling rather than
a smaller example, pdfTeX halts 200 or so pages in with a fatal
error saying it has run out of space and saying something more about
a hash table. If I comment out lines 5-7, I don't get the fatal
error but also I don't think I see protrusion and font expansion
happening. The real book doesn't have very much body text but
is does have 215 images with code like
\placefigure{none}{\externalfigure[#1.jpg][width=\textwidth]}
where #1 comes from a macro call.
Any thoughts? (I suppose I can split my source file in half
and find a ConTeXt command to start the page numbering for
the second half a 107 or so and then combine the two PDFs
with Acrobat.)

The second \catcode line contains \gdef\@@otherquite, which I'm almost
positive should be \gdef\@@otherquote .
I hope this helps.

Re: [NTG-context] Missing ligatures, smallcaps, etc.
Thanks for the response, Mojca. I installed a few adobe opentype fonts some years back, using the TeXFont script.

[NTG-context] Missing ligatures, smallcaps, etc.
Greetings all, I've just tried to retypeset a file with very recent conTeXt/pdfTeX minimals (as of a few days ago). The file is only a year or so old... but it was originally typeset with a combination of TeX installations. It goes almost okay, except that it doesn't show any ligatures (e.g. Th), and won't do the small capitals which the original handled fine. I'm not sure where to start looking though there is this error in the log: pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file a_zqd2tu.enc): cannot open encoding file for reading Any ideas where to start?

Re: [NTG-context] hz and protrusion
Hans, This is great news, thanks a million. Where should I keep an eye out for the interface extensions? Dave On Feb 15, 2008, at 10:08 AM, Hans Hagen wrote: Hi, The latest luatex beta + mkiv support hz and protruding. The user interface will be extended a bit, but for the moment it goes as follows: % engine=luatex % \setupfontexpansion [quality][stretch=2.5,shrink=2.5,step=. 5,factor=1] \setupfontexpansion[oeps][a=1,b=2] \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] \showframe \starttext \definefontfeature[demo][default] [mode=node,expansion=quality,protrusion=pure] \start \definedfont[Serif*demo at 12pt] \enableadjusting \enableprotruding \input tufte \par %\definedfont[name:optimanova*demo at 12pt] \enableadjusting \enableprotruding \input tufte \par \stop \stoptext (or the usual \setupalign options) As you may deduce from this example, handling is gone in mkiv. This not only safes some 40K format file, but the new mechanism also runs faster (some 10% overhead on 300 pages of pure text, which is rare). At some point we need to extend the hz/protruding vectors in mkiv to cover non latin scripts as well (currently they default to factors of 1). As with mkiv, latin glyphs fall back to their shape parent. Under some circumstances hz may not work as expected. Fixing this is on the agenda for the next luatex beta release.

[NTG-context] Lilypond MKIV, pstopdf, sysctl errors?
Greetings all,
In trying to run Mojca's latest Lilypond extension with MKIV (on an
Intel Mac), I've been receiving the errors after pstopdf is run,
which I've never seen before:
***
sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Operation not permitted
is_pid_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Operation not permitted
***
This is from near the bottom of the log file (included below). These
errors do not always appear, but once they start, they don't go away.
Furthermore, I receive the message:
2007-08-26 16:36:16.584 open[2988] No such file: /Users/wooten/
Desktop/Test/LilyLua-lilypond-1.pdf
When it does actually exist, and I have to run texmfstart again to
get a changed PDF.
I can't find much on the sysctl errors. Anyone see a possible
connection?
Best,
David

Hans has mentioned several times that buffers are not going to be
written to files with luaTeX any more. This has a weird
consequence on
many modules which relied exactly on that trick.
Short example of what goes wrong:
\starttext
\startbuffer[a]
Hello world!
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[a]
%\executesystemcommand{dosomethingwith \jobname-a.tmp}
\stoptext
The problem is that MK II created a file \jobname-a.tmp and lilypond
module processed exactly that file further. In MK IV, that file
is not
created any more (you can check that by running the above example
with
--lua first and then with pdfTeX again. Only in the second case a
file
[whateverthefilename]-a.tmp is created.)
Lilypond module relied on that feature (I would rather call it
dirty-but-very-useful-trick).
Hans, what's the current general recipe for this kind of [mis]use
of buffers?
I'll add savebuffer to core-buf.*
Thanks a lot for that one!
% engine=luatex
\startluacode
if not buffers.save then
function buffers.save(name)
if not name or name == then
name = tex.jobname
end
local b, f = buffers.data[name],
string.format(%s-%s.tmp,tex.jobname,name)
b = (b and type(b) == table and table.join(b)) or b
or
io.savedata(f,b)
end
end
\stopluacode
\def\savebuffer{\dosingleempty\dosavebuffer}
\def\dosavebuffer[#1]{\ctxlua{buffers.save(#1)}}
\starttext
\startbuffer[oeps]
oeps
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer
oepsoeps
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[oeps] \savebuffer
\stoptext
I now tried to add the following three lines to t-lilypond.tex:
\def\PDF{texmfstart --ifchanged=\lily!filename.eps pstopdf \lily!
filename.eps}
\beginLUATEX
\savebuffer[lilypond-\the\lily!figures]%
\endLUATEX
\ifeof18
\installprogram{\LP}%
etc.
But luaTeX now reports the following to console:
system (LUATEX) : [line 32] \savebuffer [lilypond-\the \lily!figures
]\endLUATEX \ifeof 18 \installprogram {\LP }\doif \jobsuffix
{pdf}{\installprogram {\PDF }}\else \executesystemcommand {\LP }\doif

It seems like a problem with grouping, but I have no idea how to
prevent luaTeX from parsing the input further from what it's supposed
to read.

[NTG-context] Version Information on each page of text
Hi, I'd like to put the phrase Version: Fall 2007 on each page of our intermediate algebra textbook. On even-numbered pages, I'd like to put it in the lower left corner of the page, in odd-numbered pages, I'd like it in the lower right corner of the page. I'd like it to be well below the area where footnotes are posted so as not to interfere with foonotes.

[NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles
Hi,
In setting out to update our intermediate algebra textbook for the
fall semester (http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText/), I've found
that a file that would formerly compile under a previous version of
context will no longer compile.

Re: [NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles
Here is another example, this time not within a block, but within an
enumeration again:
The source:
\startproperty
Let $a$ and $b$ be any numbers such that $a=b$. Then, if $c$ is
any number other than zero,
\placeformula[-]
\startformula
ac=bc.\index{equations+multiplication}
\stopformula
If $c$ is any number other than zero, then
\placeformula[-]
\startformula
\frac ac=\frac bc.\index{equations+division}
\stopformula
\stopproperty
Where property is defined:
\defineframedtext[MyBox]
\definemeasure[BoxWidth][\textwidth]
\defineblank[BoxBlank][medium]
\setupframedtexts
[MyBox]
[width=\measure{BoxWidth},
before={\blank[BoxBlank]},
after={\blank[BoxBlank]},
background=color,
frame=no,
location=middle]
\setuplabeltext[property=Property]
\defineenumeration
[Default]
[location=serried,
width=broad,
text=\labeltext{},
headstyle=bold,
inbetween=\blank,
before=\blank,
after=\blank,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no,
number=yes,
right=.]
\defineenumeration
[property]
[Default]
[text=\labeltext{property},
before={\startMyBox[backgroundcolor=lavender]},
after=\stopMyBox,
way=bysection,
sectionnumber=no]
And the error. Again, the \frac command seems to be the culprit.

Re: [NTG-context] We have a problem --- Old file no longer compiles
Aditya,
Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, we don't explicitly import
newmat in our environment files:
trunk $ grep usemodule *
bookenv-clean1-base.tex:\usemodule[math-ext]
bookenv-clean1-colors.tex:\usemodule[colors]
As you can see, we do use the module math-ext.

Yes, it is getting loaded:

Turns out it's not in our style files, but in the exercise file that
I am compiling:

Firstly, you do not use to explicitly use math-ext. AFAIU, it is
included automatically. Secondly, something in your setup is including
newmat, because \dogenfrac is defined in newmat. Look into the log
file or the tui file for newmat. If newmat is not being loaded, then
something strange is happening.

Is there any better way to do this?

Hi Aditya,
you wanted something like this
\newdimen\scale \scale\1mm
\def\rule#1{\hrule width #1\scale}
\rule{10}
but you made this
\def\scale{1mm}
\def\rule#1{\hrule width #1\scale}
\rule{10}
The length of the \hrule in the first example is 10pt (10 \times
1pt = 10pt),
while in the second example it is 101pt width (10 1pt = 101pt).

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem
Latin modern fonts have names like what? Where are they installed in your tree? Where can I get these fonts? At what point in my tree do I place the zip file and then what command do I use to unzip them? Thanks, Aditya. Your help is appreciated. I would have never messed with my installation but I tried your first example in section 4, page 4 of: http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/ mathalign.pdf and got two equations but three numbers!

Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem (I'm back)
Aditya et al, The cure follows: 1. Use GW's i-installer to: Update gwTeX based on Texlive During this installation and configuration, I am confronted with a warning that I have some personal tex setttings and This is true, as I have some stuff in ~/Library/texmf/. 2. Update gwTeX Support: Context Updater. Run: texmfstart texexec --make --all Watching carefully, I see formats going into ~/Library/texmf/web2c/ and ~/Library/texmf/web2c/pdflatex/. And I am back. All is well. There are still two things I am unsure of: 1. Does GW's Context Updater install Context in texmf.local? 2. Which context installation does ctxtools --updatecontext update? Does it interfere with GW's installation? On Jun 6, 2007, at 9:23 AM, Aditya Mahajan wrote: Quoting David Arnold [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Neither option worked.

[NTG-context] Beautiful source code
Hans, I'm revisiting the metafun manual and I am marveling at the format of the source code. For example: \starttabulate[|lT|l|] \HL \NC \METAPOST\ code \NC mathematical equivalent \NC \NR \HL \NC (x,y) shifted (a,b) \NC $(x+a,y+b)$ \NC \NR \NC (x,y) scaled s \NC $(sx,sy)$ \NC \NR \NC (x,y) xscaled s \NC $(sx,y)$\NC \NR \NC (x,y) yscaled s \NC $(x,sy)$\NC \NR \NC (x,y) zscaled (u,v) \NC $(xu-yv,xv+yu)$ \NC \NR \NC (x,y) slanted s \NC $(x+sy,y)$ \NC \NR \NC (x,y) rotated r \NC $(x\cos(r)-y\sin(r),x\sin(r)+y\cos(r))$ \NC \NR \HL \stoptabulate Pasting into my email program does not do this code snippet justice, as in the Metafun source, all of the \NC's are aligned vertically, as are the \NR's. How do you do this? Does your editor align these for you, or do you painstakenly align them manually with the spacebar? ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Prepare exams with ConTeXT
Aditya,
As usual, great work. I don't understand the purpose of the fourth
argument to \dowritelist:
\def\savescore{\expanded{\dowritetolist{Score}
{\convertednumber[Answer]}{\countervalue{totalscore}}{Question}}}
There are 4 arguments here, as in \dowritelist#1#2#3#4.
It appears that:
#1 holds the name of the list.
#2 ?
#3 ?
#4 ?
Can you describe what is expected in #2, #3, and #4?
Above, I can see that you are sending the number of the current
answer to #2 and the value of the total score to #3. This is not my
problem. My problem is what is generally expected in #2 and #3 and I
am baffled by the use of #4.
Any help appreciated.
