This is because I am now using Context which comes is included in the TexLive distribution, selected with Unix like operating systems. No bat files or other ancillary code or invokations are necessary. Texlive's Context program would probably not run directly on Microsoft Windows O.S. I believe that the documentation can be expanded to cover using a Context on Cygwin directly and not the Microsoft port which requires the usage of strange Microsoft pathnames, with C:\ and \ seperators. Using context on cygwin for cygwin may only have been done in TexLive for Unix like systems, but I'd like to use and test on the bleeding edge MKIV. But, that proves that it can be done. I just don't know what was done. So, perhaps I should ask if anyone knows how TexLive packages Context so that it runs directly with the cygwin environment. It might be terribly difficult in which case I will not do it for lack of knowledge and time. In what form is Context supplied to TexLive? Maybe I'd have to build Context on this cygwin platform to use it. That is what I am looking into.
