Hi Randall. It's a slightly confusing one - this behaviour is actually controlled via the \setupsection command, which deals with the high-level behaviour of sectioning commands like \chapter and (confusingly!) \section. The setup you want is
\setupsection[section-3][previousnumber=no]
The rationale is that \part is section-1, \chapter is section-2 and \section is section-3. See the manual entry for \setupsection for more info.
Thanks Duncan, the above does exactly what I want for the section numbers. Is there a way to do this for figure and equation numbers as well? Cheers, Randall
