You can "save" their selection to a text file using the system() 
application like:

        system(echo <something-meaningful-to-you> >>/tmp/selections)

This will obviously fail at some point if you have the ability to 
handle more than 1 call at a time. You could implement some sort of 
locking in the dialplan, but I think it's a bad idea.

You can save their selection to a database (depending on the database) 
with several different methods. You could use ODBC, the MySQL addon, or 
write an AGI.

Personally, I would vote for AGI because I think database access in 
dialplan is ugly and IMO does not belong in dialplan.

I have an application where (almost) every context is a product that is 
billed at its respective rate per minute. At the start of each context, I 
call an AGI that writes a row to a MySQL database with all of the relevant 
data -- date, agent ID, theme, previous context name, seconds spent in 
previous context. At the end of the call, another AGI sums up all of the 
rows for that call and submits a credit card sale.
