Thanks for your reply, Hans.

I'm not sure whether I got it right: do you use "context --purgeall"
instead of the Windows version of "rm *.log *.tuc" (and other file
extensions)? (Sorry, I'm not proficient at Windows shell :-().

I guess that "context --purgeall *" would be a better choice, since the
user explicitly asks to remove all files with the proper extensions.

Otherwise one might accidentally (as I did yesterday) end deleting log
files totally unrelated to ConTeXt or even TeX, such as log files,

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
