Hans, OK, and what should I do to remedy this? I am using ConTeXt out of the box, as it is when you install MikTeX. Should I download something else from your site? A more recent distribution?

Listmembers, I have also done the following since the first e-mail: - Copied the contents of texexec.rme to texexec.ini - Uncommented the set TeXShell to miktex line in the new texexec.ini file. - Added the string C:\texmf\miktex\context\perltk to the PATH (however, there is no context or perltk folder in the miktex folder. Shouldn't there be?) However, the problem still persists. Best regards, Mats Broberg ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

From texexec.rme: , | % If this file is called 'texexec.rme', copy it to 'texexec.ini', | % check the settings above, change them according to your TeX | % distribution, and say: | % | % texexec --verbose | % | % When set up properly, you should see your local settings fly by. | % When these settings are ok, the next call should work: | % | % texexec --make | % ^^^ | % and you should be able to process a file by saying | % | % texexec filename ` And then of course, be sure to run: , | mktexlsr ` Regarding the files not having line breaks, I made the same mistake when I started using ConTeXt. The files have Unix end of line characters, so Notepad and other Windows-only editors will just give you a long string of garbage, as you discovered. Hans has put a lot of work in making Scite work nicely with ConTeXt, so you might find that helpful. Other users have their favorites (Emacs, jEdit, etc.).

Re: [NTG-context] Additional steps taken since the first e-mail
Also, what does mktexlsr refer to I don't know how it really works, so I can only explain this in layman's terms. If you look in your texmf directory, you should see a ls-R file. If you have a texmf-local tree, there should be one there too. These ls-R files make up a database that are used to locate various files in a TeX system. After you make changes, like updating and rebuilding formats, or copying texexec.rme to texexec.ini, you need to update the databases before TeX becomes aware of the changes. This is what mktexlsr does. On some systems, the command might be texhash. Matthew ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
