When should cmd-period work?

Jupp. For what it´s worth. I added a wait 10 millisecs with messages  
after your formatFld calls in the update handler. On first run I was  
able to command period out of it and rather surprised to see the  
script of stack revDebugger popping up pointing to (ebug mode is  
switched off here, so revDebugger might as well leave me alone):

function revDebuggerEnabled
    return debuggerEnabled()
end revDebuggerEnabled

Not sure if that helps anyone tracking this down. In second run btw,  
it would just go into Jim mode again.

All the best,

Malte
