I have done as you suggested with some results: LPRINTing Chr(0)+Chr(7) from Archive to my Mannesman Tally MT80+ printer does produce a sound similar to that produced when the printer is out of paper.
The machine code routine from Tony also produces a note from the 'Speaker' but the duration is short and it is hard to hear as the speaker is mounted inside a Pandora case. Also, when I tried to put the routine call into a loop to get it to send a number of beeps of differing pitches(a tune?), the QL locks up after about three loops! Is there some incompatibility between it and SMSQ? I am using Archive from Xchange version 3.90L as obtained from the Quanta Library. The installation of the code does work if added to the starting TSL code in archive. Any more bright suggestions from anyone or do I kick it into touch (oops off topic! ) and revert to Dilwyn's printer beep? Regards, John Gilpin. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm
