Ah, you've all been getting too much sun... Since Asterisk 1.0:
exten => s,1,Read(DEST,greetings)
exten => s,n,Goto(${DEST},1)
exten => _X.,1,NoOp(in yur dialplan answrn callz to ext ${EXTEN})
Read expects '#' as a terminator, unless max digits is hit (default
255). See 'show application read' for additional options.
Cheers,
