But what if it's not part of the tree? For example > Acrobat.lnk cow.pdf Now you will say, "Why not use texmfstart --file=showcase.pdf --program=context" Answer: Because texmfstart always resizes the acrobat window, and I want to keep the relative positions of my editor and viewer the same at all times. (of course showcase.pdf is full screen-mode but the restore position is still resized). This is also why I don't use the --autopdf option. If one opens Acrobat with a link file this does not happen: the relative position generally stays the same as when it was last closed. If I make LNK executable in System Properties then I can use the following batch file Acrobat.lnk %* which will start its argument without resizing the window. So what I need is a batch file such that, from a console, I can say Acrobat.bat cow.pdf and C:\context will be searched for the file. How can I do this? I hope this is clearer. I wrote the question more abstractly because there could be many programs one may want to operate on the context tree.
