Well, yes, this works. However, this isn't documented in *the manual*.
This is why there's an Errata page in the wiki for both the full manual and the "Excursion". All input there is very valuable; it seems that the problem you found isn't entered yet... The Errata page for Manual: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXtEN_Errata The Errata page for Excursion: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Typos_in_beginners_manual
An up-to-date "cheat sheet" containing all commands and options or arguments would be fine.
I frankly don't know if it exists with all distributions and you don't state what you use, but I recently found out that my WinConTeXt includes a stand-alone version of TeXShow, which is very hand for this kind of use - and I think the program is more up to date than any paper manuals; the developers will be able to tell, if they make a new one for a new distribution of ConTeXt or just occasionally. Searching for file texshow might find yours (no luck on my Mac...); the online version is at http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ TeXShow was also discussed at the recent ConTeXt meeting and the people present promised to help adding explanations in there, so it should get better and better. If you happen to use Emacs (any OS will do), the creator of TexShow, Patrick, also has a texshow browser for it, called etexshow, so you can easily check stuff while you write. I found it quite handy as long as I used Emacs for editor and I actually somewhat miss it now that I've gone over to WinConTeXt and SciTe. The etexshow can be downloaded at http://levana.de/emacs/ - however, I don't know how up to date it is, Patrick will be able to answer that question better. THIS might be what you were asking for: There's a "quick reference" file that can be handy as augmentation to other manuals: http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-man-10.htm or, if your preferred language is English, directly here: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf - at least the English version is *very* new, dated on March 19, 2007, so it should be quite up to date [probably too up-to-date for my old ConTeXt distribution...].
