Thanks for replying!

My summary that will be included in the docs:

     If using the <parameter>filename</parameter> method of calling DISA()
     and the Caller*ID parameter is specified in the DISA() call, and the
     entry in the file contains a Caller*ID option, Caller*ID for that
     channel will be set from the file entry.  If the line in the file does
     not contain a Caller*ID option, the Caller*ID for that channel will be
     set by the Caller*ID specified in the DISA() parameters.  If Caller*ID
     is not specified in either the file nor the DISA() parameters, the
     Caller*ID will keep the Caller*ID already set on the channel.

That cover it?
