Thanks for your quick and helpful replies Marco and Hans.

I've not quite managed to get it working yet.

I also forgot to mention that I wanted it A5 2up on A4.  I thought I'd 
got that sorted using

\setuppapersize  [A5][A4]
\setuparranging  [2UP,rotated,doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering  [alternative=doublesided]
\setuplayout   [margin=0pt,width=fit]
\setupbodyfont  [lbr,12pt]

from the manual (page 55), but on closer inspection of the output seems 
to scramble the chapters.  My test setup has four chapters. The output 
labels the first chapter 'Chapter 1', the second chapter 'Chapter 4', 
the third chapter 'Chapter 2' and the forth chapter 'Chapter 3'.

Yes I did want the chapters to be numbered as words but I can't get 
Marco's modification to work.  It would be useful if there was a build 
in conversion without having to write out the words as Jamie's book has 
21 chapters!

I've tried various permutations including

   \incrementcounter [mycount]
       \convertedcounter [mycount]


in each chapter but none of the ones I tried work.

(I also tried including the dorecurse, but presume that was for testing)



I'm not sure if Han's example was supposed to be a stand alone or some 
sort of style file.  I tried running ConteXt on it but it stopped half 
way through.  I was using the the set up suggested in the manual of 
having a project file, and environment file, a product file and 
components.  That may be unnecessary complication but I thought I'd just 
follow the instructions till I understand it better.

I put your formatting suggestions into my environment file (attached).

Thanks for the suggestion of punknova Hans, it might come in sometime 
but Jamie wants it to look as much like a proper book as possible.

He's also telling me he wants the pages arranged as
sheet one
side one
page4 p1
side two
p2 p3

sheet two
side one
p8 p5
  side two
p6 p7

etc

so that the folded A4's bind next to each other, rather than in each 
other as the format I'm using at the moment gives.

I've also attached my product, project and test component files

Thanks again

Andrew
