Subject: Re: Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight

I was already trying a lot of stuff with \setuplayout. I've found mentioning somewhere that you can adapt the backspace, topspace, height and width.So it must be something like 

\setuplayout[backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth] but I forgot how to do something like  width=\paperwidth-2cm (not like that obviously, but I have forgotten how to do simple addition and subtraction with dimensions in TeX)

So, how do I set a margin of 1cm all around the makeup area?
