The 'standardmakeup' is just a box, so no columns there. You can use a
normal page of course, or 

\startsimplecolumns 
  Ah, another undocumented thing, and thereby not officially supported. 
\stopsimplecolumns 

BTW, i now have an additional to processing mode that permits things like
section entries with subsection entries in columns.
