Thanks again, I've fiddled with SciTE, but when I attempted to compile a context file, I was told that "texexec" wasn't in my path, so somehow, somewhere, I must have picked up an old version of the compile command.  Also, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of getting SciTE to use a monospaced font.  I've fiddled with the customization files to no avail whatsoever.  I think I have Atom already, but surely there should be some easy way of getting other text editors working?

You could try Atom and install the ConTeXt module from github.com/massifrg/language-context.
Original language-context is outdated, but upstream didn’t react to mails from Massi and me.
This version also isn’t perfect, but I’m using and occasionally updating it. (I should re-base it on the current work done for the wiki.) There’s also still no run command.

Additionally you should install
- language-latex (contains plain TeX commands)
- language-lua
- atom-ide-terminal (for running ConTeXt in place)
- file-icons (only icon package that contains TeX icons)
- pdf-view (not very good, but good enough for simple cases)

Best, Hraban
