It works! Thanks for your help.
I added these lines to my macros.tex file which gets read first:
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\setupmakeup[standard][page=yes, doublesided=no]
Then to preserve the blank page after my half
title (where I really want it) I changed my
master file to read as follows:
\input macros.tex
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\input variables.tex
\input half.tex
\startstandardmakeup %new
\null %new
\stopstandardmakeup %new
\input title.tex
\input copy.tex
%\input ded.tex
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
%\input body.tex
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
Lines 6-8 in the above file give me a blank page.
This will now be my standard master file. I hope
that the next revision of the manual will
include this fix.
