asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Using variable as a context extension ?

Hi,

  Is it possible to use a variable as a context extension? For exemple:

    [some-context]
    exten => s,1,Background(some_prompt)
    
    exten => ${key1},1,Noop(User pressed ${key1})
    exten => ${key2},1,Noop(User pressed ${key2})

  If now anyone can suggest how I could achieve this?

It should because it is a variable however you would have to set it some 
where. Either by creating an extension that sets it or by setting it 
staticly.

Actually that would be using call files. Will try it and let everyone know.
