In fact just for grits and shins I've got a little Libretto 30 that plays sound through the PCM speaker. (no sound on this box) sounds like heck but it works... James Ashley You'll need to look in the man page for your terminal window. Some have a preferences tab (like gnome-terminal) others have a switch you would had to the start info in the menu link. But the command usually has something to do with silencing the terminal bell. Xterm for example has a choice between blinking and beeping. James > > -- > Ashley Reynolds > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >
