Subject: Right-aligning blocks of text

I'm a newbie with Tex and ConTeXt but enjoying
myself so far. Everything is working very smoothly
except for one single issue;
I want to right-align a block of text, e.g. have
the text left-aligned but the block right aligned. An
ascii example would be;
| |
| Some text |
| More text |
| Even more text |
I've tried various context structures .. frames
etc and I've also tried \hboxes and \vboxes but the
best I can do is to specify the distance between the
text and the right margin. I want something that will
stretch to keep all the text on the page with just the
longest line hitting touching the right margin. I need
this 'box' to contain several paragraphs.
I expect that there is a Plain TeX solution but
I'm hoping there will be an even easier ConTeXt
solution.
thanks
Andrew
