Oops, read Jacque’s email first. I replied that I am using an audioclip - in an 
earlier conversation, it seemed that people were saying that if you want to 
embed a sound (rather than have it as a file) then it can’t be an mp3. In fact 
I’d started with an mp3 and had to grumpily change it to WAV to get it to sound 
using the “play audioclip” statement. 

However, I just did a lot more research in the LC dictionary and elsewhere and 
I think what I want is accomplished using ‘beep’ and ‘the beepsound’. This 
apparently works uniquely for iOS. If I ever get to Android I will probably 
have to do something different, but first things first.

Woo hoo - just about to try it.
