Suppose I type

by "accident" in the listener. I'd like to stop this from running so that I can get back to work but don't see how?

`C-c C-c' in the listener should interrupt the evaluation and drop you in the debugger. From there you can take the ABORT restart.

Also, no periods are printing. Where are they going? Are they filling up my computer like those little holes from a three hold punch? What if it runs out of space? (Sorry, long night).

There is some buffering and I'm not sure of the exact semantics on OpenMCL. I think it'll flush before filling the code with . characters though :-)
