Can BEEP override system sound setting?
le 08/03/2005 @ 21:31 par John Strowe
I usually leave the system sound set to "off" (my wife is often trying to sleep next to me when I am using my handheld). This means that the BEEP command does not generate any sound. Is there a way that BEEP can override the system sound setting and generate a beep when the system sound is off? If not, is there a way that the BEEP command could be changed to accept an optional "volume" parameter that, if present, would override the system setting?
Thanks, John

John,
Maybe try with SOUND to generate a "BEEP like".
Cheers

That did it, thanks.
I wrote a little program to help me take a patient's vital signs in the field. It's especially hard to count the patient's breaths while watching my watch for 30 seconds in the dark. I have the handheld beep to tell me to start counting and again in 30 seconds to tell me to stop.
