setting up mswincontext pathes for external use

setting up mswincontext pathes for external use

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

>From itegrated SciTe everything in Windows stand-alone context distribution works OK. 

But I want to run binaries using an external shell, and use another editor. 

I lack path settings. Hans told me that setuptex.bat take care about pathes, but after I run it nothing happens -- even texexec is not in path. The help inside is in unknown language :) How to setup the paths?

Best,
Vyatcheslav

C:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat

should set up the paths correctly. If you copy setuptex to some other 
location, then you need to use

setuptex.bat C:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex

(that is path to your tex distribution). I use this to setup paths 
while using gvim as my editor and use miktex and context standalone 
distributions side by side.
