What am I doing wrong here, please? 

\starttext
\frac{1}{2}
\stoptext

gives

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out.
Proceed, with fingers crossed.

Hi!

You are not in math mode.

Well, I tried \m{\frac{1}{2}} and got the same error. So to produce an MWE I cut the \m{} out. :-)

But now I've exited and restarted TexShop it's working - so I assume it must have been TeXShop being a bit confused and not using the updated source.

Sorry for the noise.
