Fix:
Not really sure. Tried Stop A, Stop N, Stop D, and a few recycles. I
*think* things were better once I started using a real Sun keyboard as
opposed to the keyboard attached to a vt100 terminal. Although the vt100
keyboard worked before.

Orignal message:

> nothing. The system just appears to sit there processing the command,
but
