I took Idris's advice and updated ConTeXt (with % sudo ctxtools -- 
updatecontext).  Now the sizing and sans serif commands work fine,  
with and without "\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]".

I apologize for wasting everyone's time with a problem that was merely  
due to my out-of-date installation.

Idris: thanks for the typescript example.  I find this topic very  
confusing and will enjoy working through it.

Aditya: I'm sorry that I didn't think to get output with '\loggingall'  
before updating my ConTeXt installation.

Cheers,
Rory
