of course you need:

\setupinteracion[state=start]

and then, if you really want to see them:

\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]

and somewhere in the preamble:

\placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter]

with the second entry denoting the opened ones

[i hope that it works, never use it myself]

i admit that the next solution is ugly; maybe i should cook up some better 
thing

\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\setuptyping[option=commands]

\def\Bred{\bgroup\hskip-.5em\red}
\def\Ered{\egroup}

\def\Bblue{\bgroup\hskip-.5em\blue}
\def\Eblue{\egroup}

\starttyping
test /Bred test/Ered test
test /Bblue test oeps/Eblue test
\stoptyping

\stoptext

\rotate{\externalfigure....}

\totate[rotation=270]{...}
