Thank you very much, but in fact that script file "vscode-context.cmd" really just contains the same command for installing extensions as I quoted above - and so produces the same errors. Maybe I'll go back to trying SciTe - I gave it a bit of a go, but wasn't successful. Of all the information on the context-wiki, and the Pragma webpage - where would I go to find the most up-to-date information about configuring an editor to work with ConTeXt in Windows?
