Yes, Drew, you are absolutely correct.  The "club" is the ASCII symbol for CTRL
E; an obligatory prompt of TBBS.  I have long forgotten "why" Phil Becker,
author of TBBS, established CTRL E as a prompt; presented just after the "First
name? " prompt.  As I recall, CTRL E was "always" in TBBS.  And, as you know, I
am one of Phil's oldest living TBBS owner/user--12 years and counting!
