Who can help me with the following (maybe Jeff Mallet?) :

I am planning to use the coloured editor CONtext for my zrf editing, but when I try to open a zrf
for editing the usual way (hold down SHIFT key and press right mouse key) via selecting CONtext from the "Open with" window in Windows,
CONtext starts up with a blank screen, and does
not display the zrf I am trying to edit.

How can I make it happen?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Karl

I don't know what the SHIFT key does in your OS, but I tried opening a ZRF with ConTEXT using a right-click in WinXP and it worked fine.

Mouse Rightclick only offers "OPEN",
which causes the zrf to run under Zillions.
Only SHIFT plus Mouse rightclick offers "open with", at least in my Windows 98.
And then Context starts with a blank page, as I said. Not very useful.

Anyway, I have now given up using ConTEXT altogether, because it sadly supports neither any of the additional keys (thumb scrolling key
on Logitech mouse, for example) nor the scrolling wheel on my mouse.
ConTEXT wants to be a better version of Notepad,
but it seems not to be quite there yet...
I hope the authors read this and do something about it..
It would be nice if this tool would support all features.

Cheers, Karl
