hi all,

using

\setuppaper[nx=2, ny=2]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[cut=true]

\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\setuppapersize[A6][A4]
Page 1. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
Page 2. A6 Portrait \input knuth \page
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
Page 3. A5
\input knuth
\stoptext

i ALMOST get the wished layout. the only problem is, that the A5 page is 
in landscape mode.

is there a kind of quick hack to change the orientation of the A5 page 
to protrait, by leaving
\setuppapersize[A5,landscape][A4]
as it stands (othewise the layout doesn't function)?

artur
