Graeme,

I just tested this on a later edition of Android (to see if Google had crippled it) and sure enough, that simple one line is all that's required:



Phone.call "1234567890"



Type this is in the editor (with a valid number), on the Android device and select RUN from the menu. The number dials  

The bit about the number being hidden is not true, though. It shows. However, there are all kinds of tricks available in this language and I would expect that disabling this would be doable.

I installed the Basic_191.apk

Further info: What about creating an app that can be distributed?

There is a compiler that runs on the device. It creates a ".apk". This is not really compiled, the code is still interpreted. It's actually a "packager". The end-user sees it as any other apk file.
