I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie
instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users.
The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated:
• the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh
• to execute this file run
Open Applications/Utilities/Terminal from the finder
Type (or cut n paste from Mail/Entourage) and don't put a carriage

Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine

Here's a start:
What's in your path? Typing set in the terminal window should tell you.
Second, did you add
source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex
to your ~/.profile
You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that happens
in the .profile, not the .bashrc.
