Wolfgang,  thanks so much for your help so far.

I was able to take the code and make it work correctly to stretch the chapter 
title.  What I want is two lines for a chapter head.  For example,
Line 1: "Chapter One"
Line 2: "Title for Chap 1"

I want line 1 to be stretched.  Everything I have tried does not work.  I can 
get the "Chapter" word to stretch, but not the whole line (and it should 
probably be treated as a whole line when stretching).  I was never able to get 
the chapter number (now a word) to stretch.

So how do I grab the output for line 1 and then stretch it?

Here's a sample of what I have without any stretching:

\def\Myheader#1#2{%
    \framedtext[width=0.60\textwidth, frame=off, align=middle]{%
        \vbox{\headtext{chapter}~#1 \blank #2}}}

\def\englishnumbers#1{
    \ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]

\setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]
\setuphead [chapter][
    command=\Myheader,
    textcommand=\bfd,
]
\setupheadtext[chapter=CHAPTER] % used by \headtext
\starttext
\chapter{Title for Chap 1}
\processfile{tufte}
\stoptext


P.S. If there's a better way to do the number->word conversion, let me know.
