    src/sbbs3/terminal.h   
   Log Message:   
   bstrlen() handles more control chars (\b, \r, \n) and ^A[, ^A] and ^A/   
      
   ^A/ isn't exact here since it really needs to compare against the output   
   column (which could auto-wrap when long), not the counted display width, but   
   it's more accurate than ignoring it.   
      
   I tested it like this (from within the BBS):   
      
   - console.strlen("testx\r\ntest1234")   
    Result (number): 5   
      
   - console.strlen("testx\rtest1234")   
    Result (number): 8   
      
   - console.strlen("testx\x01[test1234")   
    Result (number): 8   
      
   Previously, those would produce incorrect numbers like, e.g. 15, 14
