Thanx Aditya for reply.

I compile this ConTeXt file:

\starttext
\immediate\write18{context --version}
\stoptext

with last standalone version of ConTeXt (minimals). Below is the console output and log file.

write18 is enabled on your system; I don't know why the shell command does not work.

Try this instead (I assume that windows comes with the echo command):

\starttext
\writestatus{test}{before calling shell command}
\immediate\write18{echo HELP}
\writestatus{test}{after calling shell command}
\stoptext

Post only the output of the 2nd run (so that the console output is shown once and not thrice).

How are you running context? (Typing the command from a terminal, or using an IDE?)
