What happens if you run
texexec --make --alone
and copy the cont-en.fmt (or whatever it is called now) into the 'correct' path? Or leave it in the path that your test file is in and try the \showhyphenations{hypertextual} again.
Back from my rally. And, success! If I leave the cont-en.fmt file in the same directory as I am running texeec, then I get hypenated text. So the goal is to move it to my path. But where exactly is my path? If I do a search for the cont-en.fmt file in texmf, I get: ./doc/man/man1/cont-en.1 ./tex/context/base/cont-en.tex ./tex/context/config/cont-en.ini ./tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml ./context/data/cont-en-scite.properties ./cont-en.log ./cont-en.fmt Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************
