Russel,

Stupid question, but isn't the AEL2 parser supposed to handle the above code
first? Hypothetically, if the parser DOES handle the code the example given
by Murf on voip-info (which is the exact code Douglas posted, other than the
name new_pbx_betty_start) should work properly. Also, to answer your
question, removing the space does not help. I'm actually getting a bug
report together concerning this, and I tested it with and without spaces in
multiple places in the for loop definition. I'd give examples but I don't
have access right now. 

Keep up the great work guys!
