This change makes sense, and the code looks fine to me, though all of these magic return codes (-1, 0, 1, 2, 3) make me nervous.  The documentation for ast_readstring() needs to be updated.  Also the docs for ast_app_getdata() should probably include information about the return codes too.  Strangely enough, ast_app_getdata() is documented twice, neither of which mentions any return codes.

Then it will *finally* skip that prompt and return to the dialplan.  It would be nice if # returned to the dialplan immediately without cycling through the rest of the prompts.

If ast_app_getdata() receives an empty string caused by the user inputing the end of string character, in this case '#', it should break from the prompt loop and return to app_read, but instead it cycles through all the prompts.  I've added a return value for this special case in ast_readstring().
