Hi again,
there’s also the background mechanism which has been explicitly
(see pack-rul.mkiv) designed with page breaks in mind. Example:
···8<····························································
\setupbackground[
  corner=rectangular,
  frame=on,
  background=,
]
\starttext
\startbackground
  \dorecurse{42}{\input dawkins \endgraf}
\stopbackground
\stoptext
Hey Phil,

I'm not very competent with ConTeXt, but I tried to translate what you
and wrote into the following:

\def\StartSpecialFramedText%
{
\crlf
\setupbackground
  [corner=rectangular,
   frame=on,
   background=
  ]

\startbackground
\startframedtext
    [width=broad,
     bottom=\vss,
     top=\vss,
     align=right,
     corner=rectangular]
\it 
}

\def\StopSpecialFramedText%
{
\stopframedtext
\stopbackground
\crlf
}

...

\StartSpecialFramedText
Lots
...
of
...
Text
\StopSpecialFramedText

It comes out looking almost the same as initially, but with a box around
it.
