Since you're just getting started, there is an application specifically 
written to send output to the CLI -- verbose(). It's more "obvious" and it 
has additional functionality.

agi_extension contains the extension (the bit after the equals sign) of 
the statement that executes the AGI application. For example,

 	exten = s,n,			agi(foo)

When "foo" examines agi_extension, it will contain "s"

Better to fix the really simple stuff before he gets to the complex stuff.
