> exten => 1,n,Background(Met_welcome)
> exten => 1,n,Background(Met_Instructions)

> exten => 3575,1,set(airport=ekrk) ; non-ambiguous
> exten => 3575,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)

> exten => 3524,1,goto(Metar_ekch_ekah,s,1) ; ambiguous, so submenu

> [Metar_ekch_ekah]
> exten => s,1,Background(Metar_ekch_or_ekah)
> exten => s,n,WaitExten(3000)
> exten => s,n,goto(1)
>
> exten => 1,1,set(airport=ekch)
> exten => 1,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)
>
> exten => 2,1,set(airport=ekah)
> exten => 2,n,goto(Metar_Process,s,1)

> [Metar_Process]
> exten => s,1,NoOP(Airport code chosen: ${airport})
> exten => s,n,...
