Hello. I have a style request that I haven't come across before and 
don't know how to handle in ConTeXt.

I need the first line of text following a chapter title to always start 
15 picas from the top edge of the text area. In other words, no matter 
how little space the title takes up, the first line after it should 
always start at the same vertical point.

Something like

--
\chapter{Chapter title}
\godown[to=15pc]
Start of the text of the chapter...
--

would be ideal, but of course \godown starts from the current point and 
doesn't offer a to= option! I'm not sure that layers are the answer 
because as soon as I have moved down I'm into the running text of the 
chapter.

Can anyone help? Thanks very much.

Duncan
