Howdy,

Try removing that first line, the comment "%&program=context", which seems
to be telling texexec to use a program called "context" to compile the file
instead of pdfetex. It seems to compile fine without that line; and you can
use the built-in ConTeXt menu command to compile then too.

Actually, there used to be a context command but that seems to have
disappeared under TL2004.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
