[asterisk-users] Newbie AEL2: Syntax for Hint

[Lee, John (Sydney)]

Steve, I downloaded the latest Asterisk version (see below).

*CLI> core show version
Asterisk 1.4.21.2 built by root @ machine1 on a i686 running Linux on
2008-09-11 06:10:06 UTC

If I code:

Hint(Custom:light1)

It will pass aelparse but when it runs, it says Hint is an unknown
application on the console.
