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. hooman
