When I run the above (Win98, TeXLive 7)
the WinShell reporting window says "TeXExec 2.8 ConTeX ...
and WinShell then hangs, only closes on ctl alt del

If I add "%s.tex" so the tool cmd-Line reads
 ... exe-File=texexec
 ... cmd-Line= --pdf --int=en %s.tex
I get "There is no Main-TeX-Document! Please check the options!"

I tried  to learn from WinShell's own tool (F5)
Which runs LaTeX out of the box.
But a clone of that tool
 ... exe-File=latex
 ... cmd-Line=%s.tex
Also gives "There is no Main-TeX-Document! Please check the options!"

Conclusion - Looks like I dont understand WinShell either
(I've cross posted the above to the WinShell bulletin board)
