I've got an agi script that calls the directory function, which seems to work to a point.  However, once the caller has selected an entry, I need my agi script to find out which extension was selected.  I've RTFM'd and don't see that the extension is returned.  Nor is a variable set, as far as I can see.

Is there a way to get this information from the directory application?

No channel variable is set, but it would be a simple modification to the source code to return the extension instead of dialing it.

Another course of action would be to break your AGI into 2 parts and then 'catch' the exten in the 'dial-context.' For example, assuming you are using the 'default' voicemail context and the 'directory-test' dial-context, you would execute the directory application like (1.2):

        exec_agi("exec directory default|directory-test");

and then in your dialplan you would have something like:

[directory-test]
        exten = _!.,1,                  verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
        exten = _!.,n,                  agi(part-two,--extension=${EXTEN})
        exten = _!.,n,                  hangup()
