I've hit this several times.

I haven't yet taken the time to track it down (final exams are coming up
soon...), but it seems that it only happens when I invoke a new CLI using
POPCLI, and then do an 'endcli' before returning to vt100.  (Side note:
most of the time when I invoke POPCLI from within vt100, it's to format
a disk, so the FORMAT program might be part of the problem as well.)

To reset things after the '.' key wedges, I usually just have to exit and
then restart vt100.

So, lessee, we've got a bad interaction somewhere, between at least
four, and possibly five programs: VT100, POPCLI, NEWCLI, ENDCLI, and possibly
FORMAT.  Anyone want to take the time to track it down?  I'll do it when I
get around to it, but that may not be soon.
