I wanted the title page to have a yellow background so I used:
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=start,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
before \starttext.
After that one page I wanted to go back to no background, but I
am having trouble turning it off. Here is some of my code:
---------------------------------
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=start,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startstandardmakeup
...(title page stuff)
\stopstandardmakeup
\setupbackgrounds[page][state=stop]
------------------------
I get one white page and then everything goes back to yellow
again. How do I turn off the yellow background permanently?

There was another little problem. I had created the background
before the \starttext statement. This made it global in nature.
So when I got rid of it between \startfrontmatter and
\stopfrontmatter it was only abolished in that range of pages.
Live and learn. I had thought that the tags for frontmatter etc were
just documentation but not so.
