Well, the following seems to work for now:
========================================
call setuptex c:\context
texexec foo
========================================
I am pretty ignorant of DOS but <call> seems to solve the problem for now. Now
my WinEDT batch files for pdfetex and aleph can work.

if needed, say: texmfstart texexec foo

Dear gang,
How do I automate initialization of the separate context tree (from
mswintex.zip)? A simple batch file such as
========================================
setuptex c:\context
texexec foo
========================================
does not work; the batch file always turns itself off before texexec can be
invoked. Can I make the initialization global so that all batch files (such as
those called by WinEDT) will work properly? I added c:\context to the path but
that is not enough.
BTW: Can initialization be turned off as well?

you can associate batch files to a cmd window, (open action); in winedt you
shoul dadd the lines to their bat files (or ask the author to provide an
initialization option)

If you are using XP, you must use the "call" command in front of both lines.
If you call a batch file from a batch file simply us call. So in your case
call setuptex c:\context
call texecex foo
enter "help call" to get more information

You have to unset or restore(!) the environment variables (TEXMF,...).
...and the same for the set command: "help set"
There are similar commands for the other Window versions (can't remember).
Greetings,
