Hello,

I've been trying to turn off the conversion of page numbers to roman
numerals in my appendix without any luck. Here is a minimal example:

 \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext,location={bottom, right}]
 \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
   \setuppagenumber[number=1, state=start]
 \stopsectionblockenvironment
 \startsectionblockenvironment[appendix]

\setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers]

\setuppagenumbering is still used for the other parameters below.
 
   \setuppagenumbering[conversion=,location=bottom,left={--~},right={~--}]
 \stopsectionblockenvironment

 \starttext
 \startbodymatter
 \chapter{Body 1}
 \input knuth
 \chapter{Body 2}
 \input knuth
 \stopbodymatter

 \startappendices
 \chapter{App 1}
 \input knuth

 \chapter{App 2}
 \input knuth
 \stopappendices
 \stoptext

What am I missing? All other settings I set in \setuppagenumbering
seem to take effect.

Please refer to this thread: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043284.html for a related discussion.
