Inform Telephone 2

A few days ago I posted a question asking about creating an Inform telephone.
Some of the replies stated that I should try a special_number type routine.
I have been able to work with small numbers with this global, but I
have been unable to get past the two byte limit to be able to work with
seven digit telephone numbers. Is there any type of 'long' initalization
for global numbers? The design manual didn't really cover this. If I try to
treat them as strings I again get the response, 'Dictionary words must start
with a letter'. The two letter exchange codes for phone numbers of 30 years
ago is sounding like the best idea so far, but I'd rather use numbers if
I could. Thanks for any ideas! Regards, <<<ART>>>
