This is just an example, not actual working code.  It probably should 
have used "t", but the original message specified "T".

In any case, saving the extension in a variable, then restoring it with 
a Goto back to the saved extension is the only way I have found to have 
the original extension stored in the CDR instead of the somewhat useless 
lettered extension.
