I have my files stored separately in directory C:\Users\Ivo\TeX and ConTeXt files are in directory C:\context\tex. Here is a list of environment variables related to context after running setuptex C:\context\tex.

I use TeX occasionally for various special purposes. The last time I used it 8 years ago for typesetting music. Since then much has changed. I am only starting with ConTeXt but I like its structure and capabilities. I would use it to print Go (WeiChi) diagrams. There are not a lot of manuals about TeX (LuaTeX, ConTeXt) insides, so anything that will help better understand them will please me. Thank you for your willingness.
