I would suggest creating your prompts outside of Asterisk's directory
for organization and to avoid potential name conflicts. I store my
prompts in a subdirectory of .../sounds/ based on project or client so
I can reference them easily.

You missed a bunch here:
1) Application parameters belong in parentheses, not curly-braces.
2) Variables are "de-referenced" by curly-braces, not parentheses.
3) The $ identifying a variable reference belongs outside of the
curly-braces, not inside.
4) The parameter to the system() application is a command line. Maybe you
meant "touch /tmp/${NUMBER}."

And most importantly, do you (Thomas) really value the time of members of
this list so little that you waste it with issues you obviously have put
close to zero effort into?

I guess we have different definitions of "stumped."
