Unfortunately the recommended line had no effect.  Did I put it in the right 
place? 
So here is the file that works (so far!) 

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\definepapersize[bok][width=6.0in,height=9.0in]
\setuppapersize[bok][letter]
\setuplayout[marking=on,margin=.5in,textwidth=4.5in,width=middle,location=middle]
\input fonts.tex
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\noheaderandfooterlines
\startuseMPgraphic{bg}
    StartPage ;
      setbounds currentpicture to Page ;
      path p ; p := Page enlarged  -10mm ;
      path q ; q := Page enlarged -15mm ;
      drawoptions(withcolor .85white) ;
      fill reverse topboundary    q -- topboundary    p -- cycle ;
      fill reverse bottomboundary q -- bottomboundary p -- cycle ;
      drawoptions(withcolor .65white) ;
      fill reverse leftboundary   q -- leftboundary   p -- cycle ;
      fill reverse rightboundary  q -- rightboundary  p -- cycle ;
    StopPage ;
