I am new to ConTeXt and have what are doubtless some very basic
questions. I have checked the manuals and the archives of this list and
of the TeX on Mac OS X list the, but have not found what I am looking
for yet. What I need is
(a) to set up the footers and headers in a book so that there is only
a footer on the first page and only a header on subsequent pages,
(b) to define the first page number
(c) to set the color of a page in its entirety.
Any pointers to documents, solutions, or worked examples in ConTeXt
will be very much appreciated. I have some idea of how to do these
things in Plain TeX, but should really like to migrate to ConTeXt.

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start,textcolor=red]
\definetext[chapterstart][footer][\pagenumber]
\setupheadertexts[\pagenumber]
\setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapterstart]
\starttext
\chapter{Zapf}
\dorecurse{20}{\input zapf\relax}
\stoptext
Along these lines ...
