It's not a ConText issue. I used ConText too for a while, and switched to 
TextPad. But the problem occurs also when i start apps with mirc's /run 
command. This happens for nearly every include file, nearly every time, for 
*every* instance of Eu i start, which is why i use a separate /bin/ and 
/include/ for each and every "thread" or instance or application. Sometimes, 
a file will be locked up for the duration of the run, making  it impossible for 
another application (including NotePad/TextPad) to use it.
