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.

yea, they make me a little nervous too.   I searched through the code base and it looks like app_read is the only file that actually cares what the return code is if its > 0.

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().
