I am a beginner in the TeX and ConTeXt world, and am of course dazed and
confused. Before asking questions, I wanted to make sure I have all the
docs in English that I should.

My initial installation was from SuSE 7.2; since then I have downloaded
newer versions (including a recent beta) from www.ntg.nl/context/. 

Here are the docs I most often refer to:

ConTeXt the manual, January 27, 2000 (cont-enp.pdf)
Getting Started with ConTeXt (no date, old commands?)
(context-getting-started.pdf)
Fonts in ConTeXt, April 2001 (mfonts-beta.pdf)

Plus, the texshow application. (Giuseppe Bilotta mentioned this on
comp.text.tex, else I wouldn't have known about it).

Am I missing anything essential for a beginner? I am getting good
results so far, but I want to use the system properly and make life easy
for myself.

My first project is the prepress work for a collection of short stories
first published in 1895. Text only, pretty simple layout. I like
Computer Modern Roman, but may have to find a different outline font
more appropriate to the subject matter.

Thanks to all...

-Bill
