    Fix the recently-added NODE_USER @-code

    Since "NODE*" is a match for a node number status (ugh), and this comparison happened before the comparison for "NODE_USER", we'd never hit that condition. Thought I tested this before original commit, but I guess I did not. Oops.

    I noticed while testing the previous commit that 4 digit values weren't thousands-separated, while larger values were. I'm not sure why this
    non-zero index check was in this loop, but appears to be a bug.

    Hello Rob Swindell (On Windows,

    On Thu, Dec 19 2024 20:15:35 -0600, you wrote ..

    - UTC:fmt

    Does this one here mean you can now do:

    (at)UTC:%a, %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z

    .. or something similar?

    Hello Digital,

    On Fri, Dec 20 2024 18:38:15 -0600, you wrote ..

    Does this one here mean you can now do:

    (at)UTC:%a, %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z

    .. or something similar?

    Kind of. You can't have spaces in @-codes, so you'd need to use \x20
    in place of space. And you'd need a terminating (at).

    It's just like the TIME:fmt @-code, but instead of local time, it's
    UTC. https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes

    Thanks for the explanation!

    All relevant information is indeed on the wiki (thanks for that, too!), but your explanation here made it far easier for me to find it all on the wiki and put it together (I had to scroll from the top to the bottom to find all the pieces you mentioned in this message).

    Regards,
    Nick

    These 2 issues caused the stock batch file transfer menu for RIP terminals
    to display all messed-up.

    This RIP menu (text/menu/batchxfr.rip) contains @s and they triggered some stripping of text and expanding to a text.dat string (!).
