asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Example of the Transfer application?

OK, I'm stumped.  I have no idea how one would use the Transfer 
application.  Perhaps it is because I am an all-SIP environment, but 
I don't see what purpose it solves (maybe I'm not thinking in the 
right mindset.)  My understanding of Dial is that the only way to 
escape is via a hangup or pressing "#" or flash to get the 
"transfer?" prompt, which seems to be exactly what Transfer does. 
But how do you get to the point where you can run the application? 
Isn't it redundant?

Can someone give me an example of "Transfer" in a real-world 
situation?    Please use snippets from your extensions.conf file.

The transfer application generates the flash on analog interfaces.
It won't work w/SIP.
