Ah…thanks for the pointer to \definecoversion. Looks promising.
I had also tried:
\defineitemgroup[Steps]
\setupitemgroup[Steps][each][n,packed]
\starttext
\startSteps
\item A
\sym{k} B\incrementnumber[itemgroup:Steps]
\item C
\stopSteps
\stoptext
Which is similar to your \txt solution and increments the counter.
Thanks again for the help.
