Dear Adam,
You helped me get XeConTeXt up and running and I have been quietly
using it and have great pleasure in doing so. Thank you very much
again. I suppose it is, as is the case with a lot of areas, that you
don't hear from people until they have a problem. Which brings me to
this. I have lost my settings for XeConTeXt during upgrades of TeX/
ConTeXt and have recovered by using the information on the
ConTeXtwiki but recently this does not seem to work anymore (or
perhaps I have done something stupid). I noticed new advice in a
recent e-mail:

but trying this has not worked for me either. In an e-mail Jonathan
Kew suggested he might look into creating an installation script for
XeTeX and I encouraged him to do so. In the meantime do you know if
the procedure for getting XeConTeX up and running has changed and if
so what should I do. I have an iMac G5 10.4.4 and the latest TeX
using Gerben's installer.
There is at least this voice in the vacuum ready to bother you.
Thanks,
Charlie
