Re: SciTE Setup in Windows and .rb scripts

Thanks Mari for the very valuable advice. With your help, now I have
something  that works (kind of): Here is what I did:

1. I installed Ruby. I have no idea why it should be installed on a system
so that ConTeXt works. 
2. I downloaded texmfstart.exe and put in the texmf bin folder (I have
MikTeX 2.4 on Win XP). 
3. As you had nicely suggested the SciTE user profile wasn't in the
SciTE's working directory. It was in C:/Documents and Settings/My
Username. I copied the context.properties to the same directory and added
the line "import context" to it. 
4. I wasn't sure whether I should copy the other ConTeXt properties files
to this directory or leave them in SciTE's main folder. I left them to be
in the SciTE's  main folder. 
5. After restarting as you have said I have a working version of
SCiTE. Under the Tools menu I have these Items:
Compile Ctrl-F7
Build F7
Go F5
Check TeX File Ctrl+0
...
When I issue the Compile command I receive the following message:
>texmfstart concheck.rb myfile.tex
unknown file type: texmfscripts
...

It seems that SciTE can't still detect type of the file that I want to
compile or build. I get the same message when I Build myfile.tex too,
although Build process finishes without any errors.

6. I have all Latin Modern fonts (open type) on my computer. Still I can't
configure SciTE to work correctly with these fonts. Actully after I added
context.properties it messed up the origianl font scheme of SciTE. Any
ideas on this?

7. When I choose "Open" from file menu, tex is not among the file
types. Should I add something to the properties files to solve this?

I think I am getting ready to make my move to ConTeXt. I know that I will
be bugging this mailing list with more question, but setting up my editor
is the first step.

Thanks again.
