Summary:                    Read() does not set variable
Description: 
When Read()ing dtmf input, although the debugging 
console shows what the user entered the variable 
is left unset.  For example, this code from the 
documentation does not work:

exten => s,1,Gotoif($[ "${LEN(${extensao})}" < "3"]?3:100)
exten => s,n,NoOp(executando - ${extensao} - )
exten => s,n,Read(digito||1)
exten => s,n,SayDigits(${digito})
exten => s,n,Set(extensao=${extensao}${digito})
exten => s,n,GoTo(s,1)
exten => s,100,GoTo(from-pstn,s,1)
exten => h,1,hangup()

SayDigits says nothing because ${digito} is empty 
regardless of what the user presses.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The reason this isn't working is because Asterisk 1.6 requires that a comma
(",") be used to separate arguments instead of a pipe ("|"). Try replacing
the pipes with commas and see if the problem still exists.
