    Log a message before the regenerate loop, just in case this loops forever. :-)

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/newuser.cpp
    Log Message:
    Move the SS_NEWUSER flag setting to just after prompting for initial terminal

    settings and update the node*/terminal.ini immediately after. This will enable better spying on the terminal during this part of the new user process.
    The SS_NEWUSER flag is required for update_terminal() to do the right thing (use the user settings).

    UTF8 includes all ex-ASCII (CP437) chars, so no need to prompt for this

    If ForwardMailQ text.dat string is blank, don't enable the forward user option

    This was a bug, pointed out on DOVE-Net by Basis (CONVOLUT).

    However, this bug is not triggered unless SCFG->Message Options->Allow Forwarding to NetMail is set to 'Yes' and the ForwardMailQ text.dat string was blanked out.

    Log Message:
    Do user alias, name, handle validity checking - always

    Don't depend on the newuser_prompt module to do this correctly (e.g. set the 'O' restriction here, detect duplicates, disallowed names, etc.).

    The rlogin_name can always be used to initialize the useron.alias

    Log Message:
    Remove the new user prompts that are now handled in newuser_prompts.js

    Since the newuser prompts mod defaults to this script name (if blank), there was really no way to revert to the hard-coded logic any more anyway.

    Log Message:
    Paranoia around new user strings ending in white-space

    We can't be sure that a newuser_prompts mod will do the right thing

    One confirmed bug was when a handle was not prompted for, the default handle (copied from the alias and truncated to 8 chars) could end in whitespace.
