Hi.

Many thanks for your kind answer.

Your code is rather nice (I have learned one nice trick from it), but it 
doesn't what I need. I want all the header stuff to go just separated by 
spaces, not on different sides of the header. Something like this
    
117_This_is_an_chapter_name_(chap._5)___________________________________________________________________
where "_" stands for a space.

Well, with your trick I could possibly to it with some \hfill, but it's 
a rather tricky solution. Moreover, I may need the name of a current 
chapter and section in the document itself. I guess there must be some 
system solution for such a case in the ConTeXt (I think there is almost 
everything in it.) :-)

Of course, as the last instance I can redefine \chapter and \section in 
a way like this
    \let\OriChapter=\chapter
    \def\chapter#1{\def\currentchaptername{#1}\chapter{#1}}
but I don't want to do it -- it is dirty and involves more programming 
to cover crossreferences.

Any more hint how to get the name of current chapter/section?

With best regards
