asterisk users - May 2010 - About option U in Dial Ast version 1.6.2

Has any one used this?
  U(x[^arg[^...]]):
         x - Name of the subroutine to execute via Gosub
         arg - Arguments for the Gosub routine
     Execute via Gosub the routine <x> for the *called* channel before
     connecting to the calling channel. Arguments can be specified to 
the Gosub
     using '^' as a delimiter. The Gosub routine can set the variable
${GO
     SUB_RESULT} to specify the following actions after the Gosub returns.
         ${GOSUB_RESULT}:
             ABORT: Hangup both legs of the call.
             CONGESTION: Behave as if line congestion was
             encountered.
             BUSY: Behave as if a busy signal was encountered.
             CONTINUE: Hangup the called party and allow the
             calling party to continue dialplan execution at the next 
priority.
             GOTO:<context>^<exten>^<priority>: Transfer the
call
             to the specified priority. Optionally, an extension, or 
extension
             and priority can be specified.
     NOTE: You cannot use any additional action post answer options in
     conjunction with this option. Also, pbx services are not run on the 
peer
     (called) channel, so you will not be able to set timeouts via the 
TIMEOUT()
     function in this routine.

Hi!

Would you like everyone on this list to give you an answer? ;->

If you have a _real_ question about the U option of Dial(), then post it, 
and someone here might or might not have an answer.

OK I will try to explain my problems, sorry for my English.

So, I want to indicate in dial plan, that the dialed channel is connectted.

For example(extensions.conf):

exten = s,1,Dial(ToSomeOne)
exten = s,n,Hangup

In this example, you can know about that the channel is connected after 
if hangup.
So, if you do this:

exten = s,1,Dial(ToSomeOne,,M(macros))
exten = s,n,Hangup


[macro-macros]
exten = s,1,Noop(Call conected)


After Noop in macros, the dial plan is do nothing.

This is a work.

If I want make this using AEL (Asterisk 1.6.2), the macro is not working.
While how we know, macro in AEL is changed to gosub.
I can continue use the macros, that I have make in extensions.conf, but 
I dont want.
So, in Dial application in asterisk 1.6.2 is now new option U.
It the same, as M, but used gosub meanings.
But he dont work same like M.

Can any body help me to understand how this work.

Thanks
