Frame until the bottom of the page

Frame until the bottom of the page

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

I want to create a frame that should occupy the remaining space on the 
page. For example, if I call this frame when the page is 1/3rd full, I 
want the frame to have an height of 0.667\textheight. How can I do that?

In other words, how to I find out how much space is left on the current 
page?

Thanks,
Aditya

\starttext

\input ward

\blank

\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-\lineheight\relax]{}

\stoptext

In case someone else is interested, I finally ended up using the following 
code:

\definemeasure[page][\dimexpr\pagegoal-\pagetotal-\lineheight\relax]

\starttext

\input knuth

\framed[width=\textwidth, height=\measure{page}]{test}

\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth

\framed[width=\textwidth, height=\measure{page}]{test}

\stoptext

I think that this is easier than having to type the complicated \dimexpr 
everytime.
