Sean,

You are in the "editor" portion of sql/plus. The same thing happens when you type DECLARE...etc.etc. The period is the proper command to exit the editor back to the command level. You must enter a slash (/) to cause execution to happen.

Suppose you wanted to use the local editor. You would type ED and probably NOTEPAD would appear with your trigger text. When you close the editor, the text would be "re-entered" into sql/plus, and then it would sit there, at the command prompt just waiting...
Once again, you would have to type slash (/) to cause execution.. (or in your case, compilation and storing...)
