The pseudo-op BTS (Block Terminated by Symbol) was used in a manner
analogous to BES (Block Ended by Symbol) for those people who preferred
to use zero-based indexing instead of one-based indexing.  In this case,
the symbol was defined as the last entry in the block, rather than one
past the end of the block.
