I have been experimenting with columnsets too. There I encounter the problem that I cannot set the distance between the columns at will. Neither lt columnsets force themselves into the frame. \starttextbackground doesn't help here, at most I get frames around the separate columns, not the thing that is wanted. The bad thing is, that LateX multicols inside a parbox does what is wanted. It would be too bad if such behaviour could not be duplicated in ConTeXt! yours sincerely, dr.

It seems not possible to typeset in columns (\startcolumns[n=3]... \stopcolumns) within a \startframedtext...\stopframedtext. It all comes out in one long column. How can I accomplish this?
For this, you have to use \starttextbackground (or \startbackground) instead of \startframedtext.
