Beep was originally a speaker beep, and at least on my machine on D8.5.1 it still is. It's almost a click from the built-in computer speaker, not the amplified wave sounds. Probably in a noisy office, you wouldn't even hear it.

I just tried using the beep command on a Windows XP machine and it doesn't work on either of my machines. I can try it in the Message window and nothing happens. I don't remember ever testing on WinXP before, but I don't think I done anything that should affect the system beep.
Alert gives a beep, other sounds seem to work fine, just no beep from the beep command.
Any suggestions?
If I remember right, D7 switched the beep from the "asterisk" sound to the "default" sound. But there isn't a sound named default in my sound control panel. Anyone know what sound the beep should be using on XP?
