ISTM that command-line/batch echo ^G gives a discreet beep from the
internal speaker, but EKKO 7 gives, some of the time, a loud Boing
from the external system - not always, because the external system may
not be energised. EKKO is a simple BP7 program, via <URL:http://www.mer
lyn.demon.co.uk/programs/00index.htm>, using Write.

(A) ISTM that it would be useful, in the FAQ, to say which methods use
the internal beeper and which use the "music" system - if it's
consistent across machines.

(B) In BP7, how can I cause the beeper to beep in the presence of the
"music" system? The Boing is uncertain and can be loud.

Note newsgroups line.
