Sorry, Joshua, I don't understand. One's a filename, one's an extension number. How are they the same? In other words, why would 'enter-ext-of-person' be considered a filename? I would think 'enter-ext-of-person' would be an extension number.

The syntax is the same. They both take a filename. The example gave a filename of "enter-ext-of-person". You could pass that to Playback, though you would be unable to enter an extension.
