What about something like:
\definepapersize[env][width=4.25in,height=9.5in]
\papersize[env][env]
\setuplayout
[topspace=1in,bottomspace=1in,backspace=1.5in,cutspace=.5in,
header=0pt,footer=0pt,margin=0pt,
width=middle,height=middle]
\starttext
\rotated
[rotation=90]
{\rbox{
Name\\
Street\\
State
}}%
\stoptext

Never mind. I did it in plain TeX with pstricks thus:
------------------------------------------------------------
\input pstricks
\special{papersize=4.25in,9.5in}
\voffset 4.5in
\parindent 0pt
\parskip 0pt
\def\crlf{\hfil\break}
\rput{90}{
\vbox{

{
\leftskip 3.75in
\obeylines
\input addr
}
}
}
\bye
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page
I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it.
Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common
problem.

Hi John,
That was the same for me: \rotated is not defined.
However looking into my ConTeXt archives I found an example about
rotations, and after a new definition of your paper size discovered
that the following works: I hope it is what you are looking for...
Best regards: OK
%%% envelope-2.tex
\definepapersize[env][width=9.5in,height=4.25in]
\setuppapersize
[env,rotated] % this rotates the page
[env,landscape] % onto a landscaped size
\setuplayout[location=left,width=middle,height=middle]
\showframe

Hello John,

if you are uncertain, go to http://texshow.contextgarden.net and
search for something like "rotat" or so.
