You have to make the fields printable:
\setupfields [][][][option=printable]

This is great news, and my little test worked just now. I realize
now, upon looking more closely, that there is a lot to learn about
form fields in context.
I looked for "stelveldenin" and "definieerveld" in the Dutch manual,
but I suppose that these features haven't made it into the manual yet,
since I didn't see them there.
Is uptodate number one the only place to read about fields or am I
forgetting/missing another source of documentation?
