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.

Oh, another thing, you mentioned that the code you were testing is from
documentation. Which document was this? We need to update the documentation
to use the correct symbols so that it's not invalid.
