Try depressing the ALT and the ESC keys at the same time.  This is a toggle,
and first time after power-up will turn the click off, the second time back
on, and so on.  It is one of the best features of the heathkit keyboard --
to be able to have the click or not.  (They have a ucpu in there for a reason..)
