I did that. I tried yet another approach and dug up yet another
(possibly related problem. consider this code:


\setupoutput [pdftex]
\setupurl [style=type]
\definepapersize[fullw][width=11in,height=8.5in]
%
\setupframedtexts[frame=off,background=screen,
backgroundscreen=.97]
\definecolumnset[thre][n=3]
\setupcolumnset[thre][1][width=4.5in]
\setupcolumnset[thre][2][width=3in]
\setupcolumnset[thre][3][width=1.5in]
%
\setuppapersize[fullw][fullw]
%
\starttext
\startcolumnset[thre]
Column one (figure)
\column
Column 2 text.
\column
\startframedtext
column three text with  background

And ended here with a flourish
\stopframedtext
\page[new]
\stoptext
---------------------------------------
This processes OK but the result is a black rectangle
where the screen should be. I have tried values from .25
to .97 (and no parameter at all ) with no change. 

Is a puzzlement.
