Let me know if this isn't self-explanitory.

OA$BEEP - This function when called rings the bell on the user's terminal.

On second thought - a /BEEP qualifier on OA$DISPLAY and OA$PROMPT might work
just as well, though (on third thought) in the long run I think a seperate 
function might prove to be more flexable.


Re: .1

Andrew, I'll be glad to SPR these and free up the valuable and limited disk 
space so that more important discussions about even more valuable and more 
limited parking space can take place if someone will tell me how. :^)>

    How about using the ALL-IN-1 function
                                 
    GET OA$FUNCTION = "^G"       
    
    Works for me....

    Joe,
    
    ^G is actually one character (decimal 7).
    
    Use EDT or TPU with the EDT keypad and do a GOLD 7 GOLD 3 to get the
    CTRL G character.

    I suspect it'd be remarkably simple to make it a special symbol.
    There might a catch, like it will need to be a routine to check it
    can really do a beep on the terminal - I don't know what IBM EBCDIC
    terminal accept as the ASCII <BEL> for example
