Hello Herb!

The \import rather starts to include a textfile inside a \verbatim 
environment.

ConTeXt is more TeX than LaTeX. So it understands only

	\input file.tex

or

	\input file

But to make use of ConTeXt you need so many extra \this-or-that's 
(they're rather \start{this} and \startthat) in front of any \input ... 
for example:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\enablemode[paper,a4]

\setupfonthandling [hz] [min=20,max=20,step=5]
\definetypeface[palatino][rm][serif][ppl][default]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\setupalign[hz]	% THIS IS MICROSTYLE
%You can also combine these features. For that you need to define a 
handling that
%combines protruding and hz:
%\definefonthandling [quality] [hz,pure]

\definebodyfont[15pt]
\mainlanguage[de]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor [hellblau] [r=.75,   g=.875, b=.9375]
\definecolor [hellgruen][r=.75,   g=.875, b=.5]
\definecolor [altrosa]  [r=.9375, g=.75,  b=.75]
\setupcolor[rgb]
%\setupbackground[]
\setuppagenumbering[command=\inframed]
\setupbackgrounds
   [text]
   [header,text,footer]
   [background=color,backgroundcolor=hellgruen]
\setupbackgrounds
   [header,footer]
   [leftmargin,text,rightmargin]
   [background=color,backgroundcolor=altrosa]
\setupbackgrounds
   [top,text,bottom]
   [leftedge,leftmargin,rightmargin,rightedge]
   [background=color,backgroundcolor=hellblau]

\setuplayout[width=middle,height=middle,location=middles,marking=on]

\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [header=high,
    style=smalltype,
    textstyle=cap,
    alternative=middle]

\definesymbol[1][$\diamondsuit$]
\definesymbol[2][$\bullet$]
\definesymbol[3][$\ast$]
\definesymbol[4][$\star$]

\starttext

\startframedtext
\setupitemize[each][stopper][align=right,stopper=finis]
\startitemize[2,broad]
\item der Geometrie der Gestalt der Glyphen
\item der Eigenschaften des \quotation{Druckwerks}
%\item der \quote{Meta}--Information zur Unterscheidung der 
Entwurfsgrö{\SS}en einer Font--Famillje
\stopitemize
\stopframedtext

\stoptext

(I just copied excerpts, they might be syntactically incorrect.)
