You would be better off jumping to a new context and building up your number, digit-by-digit as it is entered, in a channel variable. In your "s" extension, set your variable to an empty string; do a Background() and then WaitExten() for a digit to be entered. Have an extension _X to capture each digit and append it to the number so far. Then use a GotoIf() to jump to the WaitExten() statement if insufficient digits have been entered so far. You might also want a * extension to clear the number entered so far, if the user makes a mistake. If you need a written example, I might be able to dig something out later. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
