When you write amstex, do you really mean AMS-TeX, the now-obsolete format written by Michael Spivak, or amslatex, its implementation as a LaTeX package amsmath?

If that's AMS-TeX: given you write to the TeXShop list, you probably have installed MacTeX. If so, then the AMS-TeX format is already included and a binary calling it, all that's missing is an engine calling this binary in TeXShop (but maybe you know that already).

Attached is a tentative engine (untested), to be put inside ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines. Make sure it has the executable bit set. If not, you can use, in Terminal:

cd ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines
chmod a+x AMSTeX.engine
