Hello, friends,
I posted this message some days back to the MikTeX mailing list, but 
would like to repeat it here.

I use MikTeX with the text editor TechnicCenter. I generally work with 
PDFLaTeX.

I have been reading about ConTeXt, which among other things enables 
the use of Metapost from within the package. (I wish to use Metapost 
as I need to draw lots of diagrams for Euclidean geometry.) It seems 
that one can configure MikTeX for ConTeXt.

Could any user of ConTeXt suggest how to do the configuring? I am not 
able to act on the tips given. I have located in MikTeX Options the 
option cont-uk (in the Formats tab) and have selected it; but am not 
sure of the next step.

I would be grateful for some advice on this matter. Thanks.
- there should be a texexec.ini (if not copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini) in which you have to uncomment: 

 set TeXShell  to  miktex
- next you need to generate formats
 texexec --make --alone --all (maybe without alone) 

now you should be able to process files with 

 texexec  --pdf somefile
(more info on how to set up metapost runtime support can be found in the wiki/archives)
