That makes sense.  I wasn't really thinking of my sections as "chapters" per se.  And I was forcing sections (each >5 pages) to start on new (odd) pages.  But switching to chapters is fine and takes care of some other stuff I was forcing.

THANKS!

How does this interact with \startsectionblockenvrironment?  I found this on wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents for suppressing header/footer on TOC.  I did not specify frontmatter before, but moving the header/footer content into the environment file messed up my formerly clean TOC page.  :-)   So, I've currently got:

   \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
      \setupheader[state=none]
      \setupfooter[state=none]
   \stopsectionblockenvironment

Do I keep this and also include your code above?  Or can both things be taken care of together somehow?

Excited to try this once I know what to do with the sectionblock stuff.

Going to fiddle...

THANKS!!!
