   I have a simple table which looks like this:

skipped some code

I would like to add a background color to the first row only.
Try this minimal example (tested on live.contextgarden.net):

\starttext
\setupcolors[state=start]
\placetable[here]{none}
\starttable[|c w(3.0cm)|c|c w(2.75cm)|c w(7.0cm)|]
\HL
\CL[green]\AR
\VL \bf Name \VL \bf Location \VL \bf Date \VL \bf Signature \VL \AR
\HL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\AR
\HL
\stoptable
\stoptext


I have only just started using ConTeXT, never used TeX or LaTeX before,
so I'm still trying to understand everything I read in the manuals, and
searching the list archive. I can not seem to make the more HTML-ish
tables work the way I want (e.g, \bTABLE...\eTABLE) so I'd like to be
able to get where I want to go using the table I have.

You missed the wiki:

and in particular Guiseppe Bilotta contribution on TaBlE, less than one day old :-) :

Happy ConTeXting,
