Variables are local to channels  (to all intents and purposes, call legs),  
not contexts.  If you call a macro or GoTo() another context, any variables 
you defined in the calling context should be preserved.  They will only be 
forgotten when the channel is destroyed  (to all intents and purposes, when 
the call is hung up).
