Nor do I, in the meantime. Sorry for my noise, I don't know what sort of
mistakes I did to get "0.0pt".
Corona? :-)
This is my test, which is essentially the same what Aditya suggests:
-----------------------------------------
\starttext
\setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=300pt\input ward }
\copy0
wd0=\the\wd0, ht0=\the\ht0
\vskip12pt
\startalign[flushleft]
\setbox1=\vbox{\hsize=300pt\input ward }
\stopalign
\copy1
wd1=\the\wd1, ht1=\the\ht1
\stoptext
-----------------------------------------
The .pdf-file is appended
Now to your proposal, Wolfgang:

Up to now I cannot say anything about it, because there are some
commands which are new to me. I have to study them first.
Thank you for your effort!
