Hi Bruce,

You have three solutions in order to solve the TeXShop issue. Here they are: 

Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file:

%!TEX TS-program = mkiv

Note that in the above you should replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name 
known to your TeXShop installation (for instance « ContextSuite», or any other 
name you have, or (may God forgive both of us…) even « latex »…). When you 
typeset with ConTeXt, the TeXShop will use the chosen engine.

Solution 2: when your source file is open you should have at the top your 
window a small menu named « Program ». Click on that menu and among the 
programs (that is the engines) choose th eone you want.

Solution 3: open the TeXShop Preferences and in the « Typesetting » pane , on 
the upper left part of the resulting window choose the radio button « Command 
listed below » and type the name of your preferred engine.

Best regards: OK
