asterisk users - Feb 2011 - Problems using Background within a macro on V 1.4

Hi List
 
I have had a look at the various posts on this and seem to be more confused
than ever - but then again that's not hard ;-)
 
I am using Version 1.4.33.1 build from the Debian "lenny" distros
 
I am trying to implement a simple screening 
 
[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,Background(press1)
exten => s,n,WaitExten(5)
exten => 1,1,NoOp(accepted) ; Dont set a reply so dial connects
exten => i,1,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
exten => t,1,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
 
[test]
exten => _1234,1,Dial(SIP/2001,10,M(screen))
exten => _1234,n,playback(sorry,noanswer)
 
This config plays to the caller "sorry" if I don't answer SIP/2001
- good
and if I answer SIP/2001 but don't press ANY key (so timeout) the caller
gets the sorry message - again good.
 
The problem I have is that the call gets connected whatever key I press -
not just the "1" key.
 
I have seen various posts about using background within macros e.g.
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+BackGround
 
but changing the macro to 
 
[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,Background(press1,,screen)
....
 
or - I am not clear what the name should be 
  
[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,Background(press1,,macro-screen)
....
 
just produces the same result - If I can get this working it will be part of
a bigger dialplan for which the followme app is not suitable hence the back
to basics
 
can anybody point me in the right direction - pleeese :-)
 
Paddy

Background does not work inside Macros.? Use READ to get the digits you need.
