Sorry, Hans. \index{...}\null isn't the solution either: I get an unwanted additional empty page,
but no pagenumbers in the index.
Regarding \setregisterentry I cannot say very much because I didn't find enough information
about that topic: I fear I have to set in advance the appropriate page numbers and cannot
use ConTeXt's page number facilities.
Ok, I shall look for other solutions, thank you.
