new help page for beginners

[Bill McClain]

I have made a start on a help page:
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html.

It just covers the issues I have found difficult. There is quite a bit
about font selection and typescripts.

Please let me know if you see anything wrong or misleading. I'm still
very new at this.

Hi,Bill,
Your page is really very helpful for beginners like me
and I believe it will be better if you can finish the last
chapter,i.e.,Installing new fonts,since I am trying to 
install new fonts for pdfTeX/ConTeXt and have not
much idea how to do that.

Regards,
Hugh

Hello Bill,

That looks very good!!! Thankyou for your efforts, I will no
doubt be a user of your pages.

I noticed that the ConTeXt installation describes how it's
done for linux users with commands that are somewhat alien
to me. I made a summary of the installation on my Windows,
shall I send the text to you in case you'd want to include
it?

Please do. For text that others contribute, I would like to list it as
"this section contributed by xxx" with a real email link.
