True, but in some cases you would want to do more. I have built IVR's that 
require some after-call handling. For this I tried to use variables as 
well, but failed. The solution in my case was to pass the variables from 
the extensions.conf and passing them as arguments to the AGI script rather 
then reading them inside the AGI script.
