2. I would like the math environment to be as close to the LaTeX AMS environment as possible. I have figured out how to download the t- amsl module and can successfully invoke it as long as the t-amsl.tex file is in the same folder as my document files. But how do I install it permanently so that I can invoke it in all my documents? I was unable to find instructions in the ConTexT garden for this, and what I could find on the archives was not helpful (something about "running mktexlsr" and/or "texhash" that I have don't know how to do in OS X, and would be afraid to do without instructions anyway for fear of screwing up my TeX distribution).
You can put the file to any location where TeX can find it. For example if the file context.tex is located under [somepath]/texmf[-local]/tex/context/base/context.tex you might put the file to [somepath]/texmf[-local]/tex/context/third/t-amsl.tex (but basically any location under "texmf" would do). ... and then run mktexlsr without any additinal arguments. You cannot screw up your TeX distribution by running mktexlsr or texhash: they're only meant to refresh the database (to know which file is where). Either of the commands should be present on your distribution I believe (most probably mktxlsr). Mojca
