Hi Alan,
Using TeXShop on MacOS X you can create two files named « mkiv-stable.engine » and « mkiv-testing.engine » and put them in the folder
Library/TeXShop/Engines
The first file « mkiv-stable.engine » contains the following:
#!/bin/bash
source [path-to-your-context-minimal-stable-folder]/tex/setuptex
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
and the second file « mkiv-testing.engine » contains
#!/bin/bash
source [path-to-your-context-minimal-testing-folder]/tex/setuptex
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
(personnaly I add also
rm -f *.tui *.log *.tuo *.xdv *.mp *.tmp *.top *-mpgraph.* *-mpgraph-temp.dvi *.tuc
at the end of each of the files to remove auxiliary files, but you must be careful with removing such files as *.mp…).
Then when you open anew TeXShop, you'll see in a small menu on top of each of your TeX file where you can choose to typeset your file with either mkiv-stable or mkiv-testing.
Or you can add at the top of your TeX file the following line:
%!TEX TS-program = mkiv-stable
or
%!TEX TS-program = mkiv-testing
In case you would like to use mkii you should replace the line
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
with
texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
and create an engine file named « mkii.engine »
That's it.
I hope this would be useful to you.
Best regards: OK

I would like to install two ConTeXt trees on my laptop, one for work in progress and another for testing, and to run them using TeXShop (if that is feasible).
Are there any instructions for this? I have searched the wiki and TeXShop help files but have not seen anything that indicates how to do this.
I currently have a system-wide installation of the ConTeXt standalone.
