Thanks, but that didn't work.  I still have a nagging feeling that I'm
forgetting something simple.
MiKTeX comes with a texexec.exe.  Putting texexec.ini in the same directory
doesn't do it either.
Is there an environment variable that I can set to help texexec find its
way?
Or a command line switch?  (I have not found mention of either in the docs)
(Putting texexec.ini in the directory containing the ConTeXt .tex script
works.)
