Subject: How to capture a typeset page into a box instead of shipping it out

Hi all,

I am looking for ideas of how to capture a typeset page (as it would appear
in the resulting pdf output) into a box instead of actually shipping it out
directly, if it is possible. I would like to take advantage of ConTeXt's
layout features including layers, otherwise I would just create the box with
\setbox.

My intent is to draw slides using all of ConTeXt's many layout features, but
capture the rendered slide in a box so I can use it either as a full page in
the presentation output or as a scaled image included as a figure in a full
text "train the trainer" document.

Thanks,

Kevin Robbins
