Jumping to a specific priority is both confusing and limiting. 
Applications are now starting to set variables instead of jumping.  For 
exmaple Dial would jump to the current priority + 101 when it got a BUSY 
and jump to the current priority + 1 on ANY other condition.  Very 
limiting.  If instead Dial always went to the next priority, but set a 
variable, maybe called DIALSTATUS, to provide information about the 
result of the call, then we have a MUCH more flexible method to handle 
the various results of a Dial.
