Dear gang,

Is there a Context way of stamping a greyed <Draft> on each page of a 
document, like the TUG preprints? 

Best wishes
Idris

see metafun manual, you can put it anywhere you want.

or use brute force:

\setuptexttexts
   [\hbox to \hsize
      {\dorecurse{4}
         {\rotate{\gray\WidthSpanningText{Idris S Hamid}{\textheight}{Mono}}%
          \hss}\unskip}]

TUG preprints? Don't know em. What kind of output are you using? dvi?
pdf? Have you seen the example in the metafun manual?

I can use pdfetex for this purpose. As for the metafun manual, I'm still 
trying to finish the ConTeXt manual before getting into META!

Well, you don't have to get into META (which is a pity :), just copy
and paste a piece of code from section 6 "Page backgrounds" into your
file. Here are two different examples taken from the manual. So don't
blame me for any errors :)

% output=pdf 
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{concept} 
 draw btex \bf CONCEPT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white ; 
 currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-.5cm) ; 
 \stopuniqueMPgraphic 
\defineoverlay[concept][\uniqueMPgraphic{concept}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=concept]
\input tufte
\stoptext
\endinput

% output=pdf 
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright} 
 picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ; 
 setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ; 
 draw p withcolor .8white ; 
 xyscale_currentpicture(\the\leftmarginwidth,\the\textheight) ; 
 \stopuniqueMPgraphic 
 \setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}]
\input tufte
\stoptext

I am not sure if you need a working metafun format for this. In case
you have not done this:

texexec --alone --make metafun 
and copy this file to texmf/web2c/metafun.mem

OK, I hope I won't come back to you :) (Yes, I have read the other
message)

If I faced this problem I would use Pstricks and dvi output. I have a 
watermark (that is my name for this creature) underlaying the first page
of one issue of ``Rowse Reviews''. If I wanted it on every page I would 
incorporate it in the footline routine somehow.  Pstricks is pretty easy 
for this kind of thing.

that is definitely a non-context way of doing things, since you can put 'm 
in the n*30+ background layers

\setupbackgrounds
   [text] % or [page]
   [\bfd something like this]

being a simple one
