All,

OK, it seems the times are passing me by. I am running Miktex 2.4. It comes
with Context installed and there is a texexec.exe in /texmf/miktex/bin,
which is on my path. 

C:\CONTEXT\PRACTICE>path
PATH=C:\Perl\bin\;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WIND
OWS\
System32\Wbem;c:\yandy\yandytex;c:\yandy\dviwind

After enabling write18 and setting these in my cont-sys.tex,

\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue
\useMETAFUNformattrue

I could not get Context to build Metapost graphics on the fly (at least in
my test file).

I have installed Ruby. After reading:

http://www.contextgarden.net/Update_Hints

I tried the following:

texmfstart --make texexec.pl

This built a texexec.bat, which I moved to /texmf/miktex/bin, where I also
renamed texexec.exe to texexec.exe.bak. As a result, the file below compiled
nicely and I had my graphic in the background.

However, this killed Context running in Auctex and Emacs, which will no
longer compile the file below. I get the error message in the attached log
file.

Any thoughts on how I can get going in Auctex again?

The file junk.tex:

\setupoutput[pdf]

\setupwhitespace[medium]

  \startuniqueMPgraphic{concept} draw btex \bf CONCEPT etex rotated 60
  withcolor .8white; currentpicture:=currentpicture ysized
  (\overlayheight-0.5cm); \stopuniqueMPgraphic

  \defineoverlay[concept][\uniqueMPgraphic{concept}]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=concept]

  \starttext
