Because \starttext is both german and english, texexec seaches for \setup... and \stel..in and some more. I will update this mechanism soon. I also will add some more features yet experimental, clean up some code etc. Finally I will also provide a menu based shell. (But that is probably when I post texform, a way of dealing with tex without seeing tex at all, trivial simple, for in use for quite some years now.) > Note: The problem with my texexec is that it can only do tex-files that are > there, meaning: I cannot compile a tex file which is not in the current > directory, but in $TEXINPUTS.

Depending on the files type (source, environment, graphic) context searches in $TEXINPUTS, at the local path (.), for environments on a few lower paths, etc. This not only speeds up searching (loading), but also prevents conflicts, think of managing many projects with similar filenames.
