   Erm, perhaps I was a little unclear. This is the second time I've seen you   
   mention this mystery "x", and I have never, not once, seen it. Not now, and   
   not previously. This is why I was wondering if it was specific to DOS, or   
   perhaps to one (or more) BBS backend, as it's not showing up on my Linux   
   Mystic build, and never has.   
      
   It's really just a curiosity.
