Yep ... that was exactly the command I was looking for.  I take it
that execute is more like the C function system rather than the
system call exec?  I.e. control is returned to the javascript after
the application finishes?

The inband DTMF contains information regarding whether the caller is
checking their voicemail or leaving a message for someone else which
means that based on the DTMF I need to call the voicemail application
with different parameters.  How can I have the script just set variables
if I can't use those variables with <condition> tags later in the dialplan
to control how to call the voicemail application?
