Hai All,

I need something like LaTeX's longtable in ConTeXt, so a table should start 
here and continue accross pages. So I need a nonfloating table. Is that 
possible with \starttabel or do I need something else?

I also want colums with a fixed with, not width a minimum width is that 
possible?

Also I noticed some odd behaviour. In the first line of the table I had 
something like:

\RL\SR
\VL \vbox{\hsize=2cm Test test test}\VL
\HL

The color extended only to the first line, not to the other lines in this 
par. Is there an explanation how color works and what surprises there are?

Groetjes,

Berend.
