Ah, depth. You can set the depth and an offset :
\setupbackgrounds[page][offset=3pt] or
\setupbackgrounds[page][depth=4pt]

Ha, if you new all the secret options ... Another nice one is 

\definereference[cool][JS(forgetall),CloseDocument]

.... \goto{Like It Or Not}[cool] ....

once documented, you can also do one-step symbol switching and some
more.

reverse them: 

  \naar{Echte poster}[#1::]

or (\naar{Echte poster}[file(#1)] or [page(file::1)] or whatever looks
best)

Subject: context introduction

Hi all,

Based on Hans's "ConTeXt, an excursion", I've written (rearranged and 
rewritten) a chapter of a book that will be be published soon.
You can get a preview from http://frambach.eco.rug.nl/context.pdf
Any comments on errors or omissions are welcome! Never mind the
details of the layout, first we have to get the content right.
