Wolfgang,  thanks so much for your help so far.
I was able to take the code and make it work correctly to stretch the
chapter title.  What I want is two lines for a chapter head.  For
example, Line 1: "Chapter One"
Line 2: "Title for Chap 1"
I want line 1 to be stretched.  Everything I have tried does not work.  I
can get the "Chapter" word to stretch, but not the whole line (and it
should probably be treated as a whole line when stretching).  I was never
able to get the chapter number (now a word) to stretch.
So how do I grab the output for line 1 and then stretch it?
Here's a sample of what I have without any stretching:
\def\Myheader#1#2{%
   \framedtext[width=0.60\textwidth, frame=off, align=middle]{%
       \vbox{\headtext{chapter}~#1 \blank #2}}}
\def\englishnumbers#1{
   \ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]
\setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]
\setuphead [chapter][
   command=\Myheader,
   textcommand=\bfd,
]
\setupheadtext[chapter=CHAPTER] % used by \headtext
\starttext
\chapter{Title for Chap 1}
\processfile{tufte}
\stoptext
\def\Myheader#1#2%
 {\framed
    [width=0.60\textwidth,
    frame=off,
    align=middle]
    {\determineheadnumber[chapter]
\expanded{\stretchednormalcase{CHAPTER~\convertnumber{englishnumbers}{\curr
entheadnumber}}} \blank#2}}
\def\englishnumbers#1{
  \ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]
\setuphead
 [chapter]
 [command=\Myheader,
  deeptextcommand=\stretchednormalcase,
  textstyle=\bfd]
...
P.S. If there's a better way to do the number->word conversion, let me
know.
Search for \numprint in the list archive.
