Thanks again for your suggestions! Still I have problems with the last column, which should be flushleft, exactly as wide as the containing text, and still aligned to the right page margin (the frame in this case).
I experimented:
\framed{
\bTABLE[option=stretch]
\setupTABLE[frame=off,offset=0pt]
\setupTABLE[column][last][width=2mm] % here is the difference
\bTABLEhead
\bTR[bottomframe=on] \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD Col2 \eTD \bTD Col3 \eTD \bTD Col4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{5}{\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD \blackrule[height=5pt, width=30mm] \eTD \eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE}
\framed{
\bTABLE[option=stretch]
\setupTABLE[frame=off,offset=0pt]
\setupTABLE[column][last][width=30mm] % here is the difference
\bTABLEhead
\bTR[bottomframe=on] \bTD Col1 \eTD \bTD Col2 \eTD \bTD Col3 \eTD \bTD Col4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{5}{\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD \blackrule[height=5pt, width=30mm] \eTD \eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE}
In this case I know the last column width (30mm) but the output is unpredictable.
In case I don't know the text width, is there a way to get a dummy width equal to \settowidth (latex)?
