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.) -gary
