A simple example  of a GUI is attached and  may serve as a
starting  point (questions  to  the  example maybe  better
off-list, since it's not at all ConTeXt related).

I don't  know which  packages are  required on  windows or
macos. On  linux and solaris  it is sufficient  to install
GTK and the lua-gtk bindings.
