Subject: Changing margins mid-page?

Hi,
I'm sorry that the subject isn't clearer.
I'm learning ConTeXt at the moment by trying to typeset a copy of my
resume.
I'd like the format to be something like this (view in fixed width):
<Address line 1> <phone number>
<Address line 2> <email
address>
<MY NAME IN LARGE SIZE>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDUCATION <Details>
<of Degree 1>
<Details>
<of Degree 2>
WORK EXPERIENCE <Details>
<of>
<most>
<recent>
<job>
<many lines here>
<Details>
<of>
<another>
<job>
<Yet another job>
ANOTHER SECTION <More information>
<appropriate for this>
<section>
My first thought was to have "EDUCATION", "WORK EXPERIENCE", etc as
unnumbered sections, and to arrange that section titles would appear
in a (very large) left margin. But then I couldn't work out how to
have "normal" margins for the top of the page containing my contact
information and name. Margins appear to apply to the whole document.
So I tried a hack using paragraphs in two columns. The left column is
the section heading and the right column is the information.
Example:
\defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2]
\setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][1][width=1.5in]
\startTwoColumns
\tfb\ss Education
\TwoColumns
%% details for one degree here
\blank[medium]
%% details of another degree here
\stopTwoColumns
The problem with this is that this setup cannot break across pages, so
when a section becomes too long it first starts on a new page and then
runs off the bottom of that page.
What is the right way to typeset this?
Cheers,
Rory Molinari
