to modify one of these. I couldn't find any documentation besides how 
to use the
styles as they are. So, if I want to make (say) the green style blue 
and with smaller buttons,
are there setups for this? If yes, do I learn about these by looking 
at the source, or,  if no,
do I copy the source and try my best to mess around with it?

just overload them in your own style:
yourstyle.tex :
\usemodule[pre-green]
.. your modufications ..
yourdocument.tex:
\environment yourstyle
.. the text ..
I didn't figure out yet how to know which s-pre-xx.tex defines which 
style, but if you want to use and modify the green one, take a look at 
s-pre-02.tex or even better: general/sources/s-pre-02.pdf at pragma-ade 
website. The documentation there is not visual (like in other manuals), 
but pretty self-evident for someone with at least some minimal 
experience with ConTeXt.

To change the background color, after finding the following line in 
s-pre-02.tex:
   \definecolor [OrnamentColor][r= 0, g=.7, b=.4]

it is not difficult to guess that an additional line anywhere at the 
beginning of your document or style file, like:
   \definecolor [OrnamentColor][r= 0, g=.4, b=.7]
will change the color from green to blue.

To get smaller buttons, notice the \bottomheight used overall where the 
buttons are drawn. (In page-run.tex you can see that that 'bottom' is 
resposnsible to set the proper bottomheight.) So
   \setuplayout[bottom=.4cm]
should solve your problem. If you want to change the look of buttons 
more dramatically, simply copy and modify the lines:

\startuniqueMPgraphic{RightArrow}{height}
...
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
You can try to play with single portions of settings. A very beautiful 
thing in TeX is that one definition simply overloads the other, so it's 
not too difficult to modify a properly designed style.

Hello,
I was trying to use \startfiguretext to place a second graphics 
within the figuretext. This makes the main graphics disappear:
\starttext
 \startfiguretext
[left]
{none}
{\externalfigure[graph1][width=2.8in]}
text text more text
 \placefigure
   [here]
   {none}
   {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}
\stopfiguretext
\stoptext
The result should look like
graph1   text
graph1   text
graph1   graph2
graph1   graph2
but graph1 1 doesn't show anymore (not even on another page).
Is this a mistake of mine, should I use something else (tables? -- 
never tried so far),
or a missing feature?
You want the 'impossible': both use the figure floater so the first 
one is forgotten when the second is encountered; tables are a 
solution, or maybe:

\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm]
\starttext
\placefigure
  [leftmargin,reset]
  {none}
  {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]}
  \input ward
  \placefigure
[here]
{none}
{\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}
  \input hawking
\stoptext
\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm]
\starttext
\placefigure
  [leftmargin,reset]
  {none}
  {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]}
  \input ward
  \placefigure
[here]
{none}
{\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]}
  \input hawking
\stoptext
The new web site is great.  Now that I can see what the
manuals are about, I am condemned to try it all out. It has already 
cost me this afternoon :)
take a look at: details.pdf
