Ok I think I understand, You are saying that the AGI execution is simply 
a routine that at a point will pass the caller off when the "Dial" is 
executed and Asterisk will bridge the call.. The AGI has no reason to 
wait there for the call to end becasue it has done what it was 
programmed to do and will simply continue on to the next step in the 
script.. is that right?

Not quite sure what you mean here.. you mean that the AGI will be called 
from the sample.call file?? how is this different form calling the AGI 
from the dial plan?

Later..
