Back on track...

OK. I understand that "press the hold button" won't do what I want.

The next best thing is ... instead of using the built-in call parking 
feature, where the call gets parked at a random extension, I need to be 
able to park calls from extension X at a specific other extension Y.

Parking at a random extension, then picking it up, is fine if there's ever
only one call on hold, but I expect that there will be times where I need
to have more than one call on hold. We have four DID lines, all plugged
into our Asterisk server, and we do a lot of telephone support. :)

Thanks,
  Steve
