Hello,
After reading a bit in mtx-context.lua, I've found out how to use
--arguments:
test-file:
\starttext
Value of myVar: \ctxlua{tex.print(document.arguments["arguments=myVar"])}
\stoptext
cmd-line:
context --arguments=myVar=myValue test
But this syntax is very strange!
This would be much nicer:
Value of myVar: \getvariable{environment}{myVar}
Perhaps there is just a bug in the evaluation of environment.arguments?
That means, instead of using the first equal sign (=) for generating the
key/value pair, the last one is used.

Is this the right way to go: \systemparameter{file} ?
Cheers, Peter
