Thanks, Hans. That works from the command line as it should and will be a great help.

Now to see if these trees can be accessed easily from TeXShop.

All best, Alan

I would like to install two ConTeXt trees on my laptop, one for work in
progress and another for testing, and to run them using TeXShop (if that
is feasible).

Are there any instructions for this? I have searched the wiki and
TeXShop help files but have not seen anything that indicates how to do this.

I currently have a system-wide installation of the ConTeXt standalone.

assuming that mtxrun is not fundamentally changed you can try this:

mtxrun --tree=/data/context/tex      --script context yourfile.tex
mtxrun --tree=/data/context-beta/tex --script context yourfile.tex
