I just want to make sure I'm reading this right. You're using three 
variables here, CFIM_ON, CFIM_STATUS, and CFIM_OFF, right? So somewhere 
above this section of code, you've defined them like:

CFIM_STATUS=*10
CFIM_ON=*11
CFIM_OFF=*12

I didn't realize you could put variables in as the extensions.

This could be the beginning of some kind of "dial-plan modules" 
collection, where you post your macro or dial plan logic and show sample 
usage.
