If you RUN the following MS Basic program on the Mac (I realize -- now --
that it's syntatically incorrect):
10 X=1: P$="##.##": PRINT USING "P$"; X
the Mac goes into a loop, printing an endless unmoving single line of
"P$P$P$P$P$P$P$P$P$P$P$P$..." across the screen; the mouse is disabled;
Ctrl-C does not work; and there seems to be no way to get out except to
turn the power off and start over.
