Conflicting 'index' with 'bottomtext'

Conflicting 'index' with 'bottomtext'

[Willi Egger]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 859 bytes --]

Hi all,

Finally (Yes Hans!) my bookbinding book is complete as far as the text is
concernd.

Now I pepared a screen version of this document. It contains also an index
of several pages. While througout the document the buttons, which are placed
in the \bottomtext environment are typeset correctly, they aren't in the
index.  On the full screens the bottomtext seems to be split into two
columns, which makes it necessary to hyphenate the button-texts.  The last
screen of the index is a couple of lines only, on this page the buttons are
placed correctly.

How can I prevent this?
As an attachment I provide you the relevant part of my layout-environment.

With the parameters chosen the screen width is not completely used. Which of
the variables have to be changed to force the document to use the maximum
width and height of the screen?

Greetings Willi

You should put the buttons in a menu: 

\setupmenu[bttom][state=start]

\startmenu[bottom]
\but [here] bla bla \\
\but [there] more bla \\ 
\stopmenu

[see s-pre-* for examples, search for menu)
