Hey Phil,
I'm not very competent with ConTeXt, but I tried to translate what you
and wrote into the following:
\def\StartSpecialFramedText%
{
\crlf
\setupbackground
[corner=rectangular,
frame=on,
background=
]
\startbackground
\startframedtext
[width=broad,
bottom=\vss,
top=\vss,
align=right,
corner=rectangular]
\it
}
\def\StopSpecialFramedText%
{
\stopframedtext
\stopbackground
\crlf
}
...
\StartSpecialFramedText
Lots
...
of
...
Text
\StopSpecialFramedText
It comes out looking almost the same as initially, but with a box around
it.
