For one reason or another it does not work. I think because the batch setups
an environment and does not compile the source. I do not get an error
message, but the pdf is not generated.

When I open a DOS prompt, I need to execute the batch file to get context
recognized as a command. When I execute context after executing the batch
file, the pdf is generated.

But when I change the batch file for:
    C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/context.exe

The compilation is started, but does not work correctly, because the
environment is not set correctly. I tried executing the batch file to set
the environment, but that is not recognised in TeXworks.

I first tried to change the batch file and let it start TeXworks. That
worked, but then I had a better idea. In step four I set the path to:
    C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin

And now it works completely correct I think.
