Wolfgang: thanks for the tips, I'll try them out.
Hans: Here is the example, which produced the output in my Thoughts
document (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf)
\definetyping[cmds]
\setuptyping[cmds][option=commands]
\starttext
\startcmds
\def\MySectionCounter{P\currentcounter[part].C\currentcounter[chapter]-\currentcounter[section]}
/stopcmds
\stoptext
which has inserted spaces before the opening square brackets and between
e.g. \def and \MySectionCounter.
