I guess my question would be: What is the difference between a bot sitting at the "Press ESCAPE" prompt versus sitting at a "Enter your username" prompt?

I can whip up a sample startup.mps script to do the escape thing and include it with the next release.  You could also do something similar with the "System Password" function.  If you set it to a value of "BBS" and then edit the System Password prompt to read "Type BBS and press enter to enter: " then you will get
a similar effect (except they have type BBS instead of escape twice).

.... Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
