Well Hans look short into it ;-)

Whereas mine are based on the information of the PDF manual (URL see
inside,
the manual are available at http://www.pragma-ade.com/)
Note: My manpages are relative to the latest beta and contain a few more
commands (which are neither in the manual nor in the teTeX 1.0x
version).
Contrary to CMC manpages (I couldn't dowload the source since
I got "permission denied") it includes also a longer description of the
commands.
As soon Hans establishes a working CVS tree at
http://context.sourceforge.net/
I'll place them there.
Hans promissed to look at the manpages, but presently ConTeXt seems to
be
more important for him (chinese vertical, absolut positioning, HZ and
other PDFTeX
extras).

Please have a look at the manpages of texexec/texshow/texutil at
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~tburnus/context-manpages.tar.gz
before you release your next version. (I could also place them at
context.sourceforge.net to make the address look better ;-)

PS: Yodl question: I have
mancommand(.BR )
in the .yo file. This produces with yodl 1.31.18 the output "..BR" which
is wrong,
using (BR) I only get "BR" which is also wrong. Any workaround (but
deleting the "."?)
