Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal from the finder Type (or cut n paste from Mail/Entourage) and don't put a carriage return between these lines (they are wrapped automatically)
chmod a+x Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine If that fails - and it should not - try: sudo chmod a+x Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine You can substitute: chmod a+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine for the above path, and you can opt to do chmod u+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine when only you should execute it or chmod g+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine if anyone in your group can execute it or you can be "typical" and say chmod 775 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine and that will make everyone executable and you/your group read-writable. Since you are using UNIX (as Mac OS X proudly touts) you might want to snag a reference on shell scripting and basic UNIX commands. Welcome to the world beyond Aqua. That should do it.
