I thought so; yet another great feature of MkIV!

Thanks - but this is exactly what I do *not* want to do. My first idea
was to do something like
\def\onepageworthofmaterial{<whatever>\page}
\dorecurse{4}{\onepageworthofmaterial}
which is similar, but simpler. I thought that maybe there's another,
"ConTeXt way"... but if not, I'm fine with that.
