Is anyone familiar with the term bergadot and how it is associated with the symbol called a bullet in typewritten documents? I am looking for the origin of the term and cannot find it listed in any dictionary or on the net.

You could ask in the "Questions Asked" area of the Homepage. More people will probably see it there.

I used Google and came up with a post from these forums, apart from that Google seems to think we really want bergamot.

Yes, I saw the forums post, too. Also the reference to bergamot...The person originally asking, is no longer on this site. It had something to do with 'keyboard functions'. I asked on the Homepage, and so far nothing. Maybe it isn't a word...
