Cobby,

In amsmath, there is

\begin{smallmatrix}

\end{smallmatrix}

Don't know how in Context. I'll find out.

Does anyone on the context list know how to do this?

\usemodule[newmat]

\startsmallmatrix
\stopsmallmatrix

Look in the m-newmat.tex file -- according to the comments, you had exactly 
the same question about what it was supposed to be when you implemented 
it!  (It's a copy of the AMSmath declaration, I believe.)

In any case, it's a simplified matrix using only one column and using 
scriptsize fonts -- it's intended for constructions where you have a 
multi-line subscript on something like a summation.

Sorry -- I should have looked this up first; I got the descriptions 
wrong.  The "subarray" environment is the one that does that; the 
"smallmatrix" array is exactly what David described -- a matrix environment 
set in scriptsize font with tight linespacing, intended for use within a 
text line.

In any case, your question about "what does this do?" in the m-newmat.tex 
comments applies to both.  :)
