You need textbackground to draw the frame around the text
That's the funny thing ... apparently I don't! See the code in my previous
mail. There I seem to get the frame from the \setlayerframed command alone.
You can still write the text in a buffer and use the buffer in the
streamlayer.

But the frame from setlayerframed has not the measures of the text,
to get the correct size you need textbackground.
Ah, I see! The reason I asked is I didn't see any frame with your code... I
presume I need to hook some MP overlay into textbackground?
width:
\startsetups streamlayer:test:settings
\overloadtextwidth{12cm}
\stopsetups
frame:
\definetextbackground[testframe]
\startstreamlayer[test]
\starttextbackground[testframe]
...
\stoptextbackground
\stopstreamlayer
That's exactly what I need! Based on your example I kept

Observations:
1. One can even do without the textbackground material for some reason.

2. \placestreamlayer apparently can only be used once (try uncommenting the
last lines). So
\usemodule[streams]
\definestreamlayer[test][method=overlay]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext
\startstreamlayer[test]
\startcolumns
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stopstreamlayer
\setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=10cm]{\placestreamlayer[test]}
\stoptext
Many thanks!

Dear all,
how can I get columns within a layer? I tried
