Understood, that is why I had commented out the 5= line for testing, when
the 50=playback didn't work, I swapped the comment to the other line, and
tried it the other way.

I understand the * for the start of the command and close with the #. When I
test the *52, it does say the time. That is not what I am getting at.

I want to occasionally say, "*50 for information", then when somebody pushes
*50, it will play another recording that will have the basic instructions
for repeater usage. I can't get the playback command to work. I also tried
using the playback command in the [functions27178] stanza vise the
[macro27178] stanza, so I must be using the command wrong.

Can anyone assist me with this?
