Hi Aditya. Thanx for reply. I am sending result from output console from your example ie: \starttext \writestatus{test}{before calling shell command} \immediate\write18{echo HELP} \writestatus{test}{after calling shell command} \stoptext Output is below. Regarding the call ConTeXt, I often calls it directly from the editor (PsPad) but when frequently repeated compilations, then I type commands directly from terminal (command line of windows) Thankx for attempt to solve my problem.

Thanx Aditya for reply.
I compile this ConTeXt file:
\starttext \immediate\write18{context --version} \stoptext
with last standalone version of ConTeXt (minimals). Below is the console output and log file.
write18 is enabled on your system; I don't know why the shell command does not work.
Try this instead (I assume that windows comes with the echo command):
\starttext \writestatus{test}{before calling shell command} \immediate\write18{echo HELP} \writestatus{test}{after calling shell command} \stoptext
Post only the output of the 2nd run (so that the console output is shown once and not thrice).
How are you running context? (Typing the command from a terminal, or using an IDE?)
