Thanks. What confused me was that on my Mac the icon for the setuptex
changed after I edited it.
Anyway, the revised setuptex works perfectly with the
ConTeXtMinimals.engine. Thank you again.
But the question now is, which solution do you recommend? As a user,
my preference is for the one that leaves setuptex alone and focuses on
the engines that TeXShop uses, since it makes switching form MKII to
MKIV very easy to do. (I would add that, as things stand now, I also
have easy access to my Texlive 2007 setup.) However, I am much more
interested in keeping my setup in line with development path that you,
Hans, and the others set for the minimals, since, as I gather, they
are the future of ConTeXt.
Very best, Alan
