No, it is a channel variable. The __ on the beginning means it will be
inherited by any channels created from the channel it was set on.
In following up with this very old thread... I was just playing with
variable inheritance, and if you are calling Set(__MYVAR=myval), and
then go off somewhere else (in my case it was via a GoSub()), and
Set(MYVAL=myotherval), then you effectively set the variable local
again and it will not be inherited.
My trick was to do a Set(__MYVAL=${MYVAL}) right before Dial()ing the
Local channel. This will forward the current value to the Local
channel.
