Hi Charles

Firstly. I can take no credit for getting Context running on the new M1 
Mac OS ARM. Hans and his team are the real heroes here. I just 
downloaded the zip file and off I went.

I don't normally use TexShop, I use Texworks, but I have it set up on my 
machine. I cant remember how I setup the engine but I checked it out and 
it runs as expected. Here is the engine I use:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

#!/bin/bash

export 
PATH=/Users/pothole/data/contextarm64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/Users/pothole/data/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

/Users/pothole/data/contextarm64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun 
--autogenerate --script context --autopdf "$1"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I did exactly as you did only I unzipped into /data/contextarm64. I did 
this because I have another directory into which I unzipped the intel 
version. It means I have two ConText options, intel and arm. The only 
other differences are my engine is a bash file and I don't remember 
making it executable.

Hope this helps. I'm happy to help off list if you want.

Best Wishes

Keith
