There I encounter the problem that I cannot set the distance between the columns at will. Neither lt columnsets force themselves into the frame. \starttextbackground doesn't help here, at most I get frames around the separate columns, not the thing that is wanted. The bad thing is, that LateX multicols inside a parbox does what is wanted. It would be too bad if such behaviour could not be duplicated in ConTeXt! yours sincerely, dr.
