Hi Joachim,

Might it be worthwile to use Smultron (instead of TeXShop) as editor also with the Mac-TeX-TL installation which I have?

Well, it's just a matter of taste: i.e. If you like Smultron more than TeXShop.

#!/bin/sh

This means that Smultron must calls to use bash shell, i.e. it's like using Terminal

cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/ . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ ConTeXtMinimals/tex cd %%d texexec %%p

These lines are the ones you would write into Terminal, with some special syntax (%%d, %%p) allowed by Smultron. (Please note that I'm pretty an ignorant about Smultron editing capabilites)

----------------------------------------

As far as I'm able to look after it, my TeXLife installation is located in: /usr/local/texlive/2007 with ConTeXt scripts in: /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context

But I don't dare to adapt the Smultron configuration above without confirmation or alternative instruction ...

Well, you can try with no risks. Create a new command, try with to change the paths, if everything is wrong you simply delete the command. No problems at all.

Or have I to decide wether to continue to use ConTeXt in MacTeX- TeXLife with TeXShop _OR_ to install Minimal-ConTeXt and use it with Smultron?

I have opted for Smultron so that I left my TeXLive distro (TeXShop included) untouched. That was the rationale behind choosing Smultron. In the future (if sooner or later someone explain me how to use fonts) my plan is to use Smultron+Minimals, leaving TeXShop+TeXLive only for LaTeX (for paper proceedings) Best -a-
