Description:https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial

The Dial application help text reads:

{noformat}
DIALEDTIME - This is the time from dialing a channel until when it is disconnected.
ANSWEREDTIME - This is the amount of time for actual call.
{noformat}

"when it is disconnected"

* Disconnected from what?

"amount of time for actual call"

* What is an actual call?

We should rewrite these descriptions to be more explicit.

The explanations here are a bit better: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Dial+Channel+Variables

However the explanation of DIALEDTIME is still a bit overly brief. "Time for the call" could be expanded.
