Absolutely right :)

"\" escapes the next character, so if you wants *69 to go through 
immediately, you'd put "\*69" so that the * gets recognized as a digit.

"," returns the dialtone sound.  When my users hit "9", they like to hear 
the dialtone still so they know they're dialing outside.

You got "." and "*" right.  Never put a 0 timeout on "*" or nothing else 
will work right.

Hope that helps.
