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.
