New build of WinEdt 6.0 (Build: 20101121) has been uploaded to
www.winedt.com
This build contains macros that work with the latest ConTeXt Mark IV (previous versions were designed for older version of ConTeXt). If you are upgrading from older version of WinEdt make sure that the executable for ConTeXt in WinEdt's Execution Modes is set context.exe (instead of old texexec.exe)...
If you (really!?) want to use old ConTeXt Mark II you will have modify the menu item for ConTeXt to call:
ConTeXt_old.edt
instead of
ConTeXt.edt
News.txt gives the details (read it!)
In the meantime another build 20101111 had been available (but never announced on the list). Since then WinEdt takes care of environment variables MIKTEX_EDITOR and TEXEDIT that define the editor response for "e" in MiKTeX and TeX Live.
You can install the latest build over the old version of WinEdt 6.0 and then read What's new in the Help menu (if you want to take advantage of certain changes such as new items in the Maintenance Menu designed to load customized scripts etc...).
Best regards, alex

Update on using MikTeX 2.9, ConTeXt MKIV, Winedt 6.?!!! First let me thank Mojca, Aditya, Ulrike and Hans for looking into this. I received a suggestion to remove Miktex Full and install Miktex basic. That did NOT work as I like lucida and lucida math which will not function correctly using Miktex basic. So here is what I did to make it all work: 1. uninstall Miktex 2.9 basic 2. Install Miktex 2.9 complete 3.Go to Miktex\doc\latex\circuitikz and rename context.tex some other name. For some reason known only to Christian Schenk Miktex searches until it finds that sample and attempts to use it. So renaming that file allows luatex to "kick in and start processing". Finally success! now all I need to do is figure out how to invoke bibiliographies in MKIV using bibstyle econometrica. Thanks to all!!!

Thanks a lot for this notice (and thanks to Ulrike for debugging). This is indeed very nice to know (it used to be my favourite editor a while ago). I always thought that supporting ConTeXt needs heavy hacking of WinEdt. Mojca (I'm still confused about whether it really doesn't/won't support UTF-8 until version 7 since it is then almost useless for any non-English speaking user for XeTeX and ConTeXt MKIV that are now available in drop-down menu by default.)
