Re: Trivial Feature Request: beep()

["Eugene Rosenzweig" <ugn at hotmail dot com>]

On my system the I get the beep through the speakers. The default beep is
enabled in the control panel. The funny thing though, similarly to Harold I
get different pitches, I get a high-pitched beep from the cmd.exe that
sounds like a pc speaker but is coming from soundcard but from bash I get
the sound I defined in the control panel.

There was a thread on this before in cygwin list and more than once. Does
not really relate to the XFree but I thought I'd mention it, maybe it is
related somehow. There is one with Subject: 'Beeping' from 16/03/2002 on how
to turn beeping OFF for readline (echo set bell-style none >>~.inputrc), for
vi (:set vb) and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound\Beep registry key
which I think would be toggled by the control panel anyway but still would
not hurt to check.

My rxvt does not beep because I run it with -vb option (no visual bell).
There is same option for xterm. Could this be somehow related to the
problem? I cannot check because my xfree is older than the packaged ones and
does not beep at all.

Eugene.
