Sorry...Again I am stumped.
I have a counter that I'd like to reset
\newcounter \nuggetnumber
\def \numberofnuggets{0}
\definehead [nugget] [section]
\setuphead [nugget] [number=yes,page=yes, before=\increment \nuggetnumber,
after=\savecurrentvalue \numberofnuggets{\countervalue{nuggetnumber}},]
% LO as nugget
This counts the number of nuggets.. and seems to work fine.
But when it gets to an episode it should reset....so, maybe like this
\definehead [episode] [title]
\setuphead [episode] [numberstyle=bold, textstyle=cap,
number=yes,before=\resetnumber[nuggetnumber]]
% may be used
But \resetnumber[nuggetnumber], where-ever I put it seems to have no impact.
I think the Wiki suggests that it should, and the mailing list back
catalogue and the manual shed no light on the matter....
while I am at it, I am equally unsure how to reset the numberofnuggets
accumulator, which should also be done on meeting the episode structural
element - I'd like to insert a whole chain of commands in the
before=...'
Thanks
Ian

Here, you need at least a pair of braces (actually, I'm surprised your code doesn't give an error):
\setuphead [episode] [numberstyle=bold, textstyle=cap, number=yes,before={\resetnumber[nuggetnumber]}]
It's better, however, not to use low-level commands, but context syntax:
\definelabel[nuggetnumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext,prefix=no,text=]
\definehead [nugget] [section]
\setuphead [nugget] [number=yes,page=yes, before=\incrementnuggetnumber]
\definehead [episode] [title]
\setuphead [episode] [numberstyle=bold, textstyle=cap, number=yes,before=\resetnuggetnumber]
context does all the housekeeping for you, no need to savevalue etc.

if you want a chain of commands, use a syntax like this:
\startsetups what:ever
\command 1
\command 2
...
\stopsetups
which you can then call with
\setuphead[argl][after=\setups{what:ever}]
