Thanks a lot to both of you. It finally works. The line I had to change was in miktex.ini. (I never had to bother about MikTeX specific issues till now and I didn't expect the problem to lie so deep in the system.)
I found it bad to do this so deep in the system as well. I found a way that enables \write18 only for ConTeXt, using the texexec configuration file. I documented it at: http://contextgarden.net/Texexec.ini Basically, you would change texexec.ini so that it had the line: for miktex set TeXPassString to --alias=context -shell-escape ...is there any reason why this wouldn't work for MikTeX? or, for that matter, for general ConTeXt use?
Would it make sense to add just a short hint for newbies somewhere at the beginning of the manual, warning that write18 has to be enabled in order to process some graphics properly?
:) I suppose Hans could, but it would mean fewer people come join the ConTeXt community... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
