(Combined)lists, two questions

(Combined)lists, two questions

Dear all,
 I have a few issues with the Table of Contents and with the List of Figures

1 How can one force a page break after some section. In my present setup I have a Chapter 4, sitting lonely at the bottom of the first page of the ToC, with its sections on the next page. I have tried \completecontent[3.7], as described on p. 53 of "ConTeXt an excursion", but that does not work for me (I'm on mkiv). 
What can be done about it?

2 My list of figures gives the complete captions, some of which are long. Those exceeding their allotted space break off, which is OK, but there are some that run up against the page number, which is ugly and unclear. 
What can I do the create a little more space between caption and page number?

In general, of most if not all of the 38 possible arguments for \setuplist, as shown on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/, I do not know what they do and how they can be used. Unfortunately, also "ConTeXt an excursion" is very brief on this subject. 
Is there any place where I can find more information?

Thanks in advance for ay advice.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

You can use \testpage to make sure chapter entries have a certain number of lines before a page break happens, e.g. \setuplist[chapter][before={\testpage[4]\blank}]

When you need manual page breaks in the TOC in your final document there is another mechanism: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/052739.html

Make a example.

Thank you, Wolfgang. My apologies for my late reaction.

As for my first problem, the link you gave showed me what I needed. Problem solved.
As for my second problem, the relative dimensions of the three columns in the List of Examples, I could no see how I could create a representative ME in a short time, so instead I experimented with the many parameters for \setuplist and eventually found a satisfactory solution.
Thanks again,

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone
