Maybe explaining this from another direction (to others) may help, and correct me if I'm wrong here:

If a BBS prompted you for your user name with an example/defult:

User Name: [ John Doe           ]

But as soon as you type a character, it prints that character and wipes out the example to allow you to continue. Even if you were to hit "Enter" with John Doe there, it wouldn't save that username to the user base, because it's just displayed to assist you as an example.

Basically the same situation?

Regards,
Nick
