The TeXLive2003 on MacOSX install (main computer) worked fine, without anything extra. I have a gwTeX install on a second computer, and it took a bit of work to get it going: enabled \write18 by changing shell_escape to 't' in texmf.cnf Copied user/cont-sys.rme to user/cont-sys.tex. Did a 'sudo texhash' to be sure changes are made. Edited cont-sys.tex and uncommented the following lines: \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue % make sure you have a format! In short, I followed the suggestions in minstall.pdf! After all that, I was able to run both the "copyright" and "draft" examples without any problem. The down-side is that it takes a bit of confidence at the command line to find all these files. I have to wonder if it would help to ship and configure gwTeX/ConTeXt with better defaults for the Mac... Otared, I would suggest making the changes recommended in pages 8-9... they unlock a lot of functionality that seems to be "hidden" in ConTeXt! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
