    This is done in sbbs_t::newuser() before this mod is invoked

    Log Message:
    The User property is 'gender', not 'sex'

    Retore the "ERROR" log level for the blank user alias since we now check for disconnection before checking the alias.

    Use new method bbs.matchuserdata() instead of system.matchuserdata()

    Log Message:
    Cosmetic improvements and an important bug fix

    Whoa, can't use strchr() here, this ain't C or C++!

    Don't need to set SS_NEWUSER here since it's now always set in sbbs_t::newuser().

    Use gettext() - so less use of text.dat strings (e.g. ContinueQ which now has no uses!).

    More prompting to cancel the new user registration process and more details about rejecting user strings/values and when restarting the prompt loop.

    Modified Files:
    exec/newuser_prompts.js
    Log Message:
    Turn off autoterm along with color

    the COLOR bit is automatically set in autoterm when pretty much any terminal
    is auto-detected, so we need to disable autoterm to disable COLOR.

    The COLOR flag should probably be deprecated for a MONO flag that's only set
    by the user (and never in auto-term) at some point.

    For now, this works.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Clear the console.aborted flag before printing any errors

    This handles Ctrl-C aborted input a little better.

    Truncate whitespace off the end of the (copied and possibly truncated) handle value.
