Thanks Tony,
very prompt and helpful as always.

"Inverting the display" means changing black to white, white to black,
yellow to blue, blue to yellow, red to cyan, cyan to red, green to
magenta, magenta to green, etc., all over the screen. The "visual bell"
does it for a fraction of a second, if enabled.
As noted under ":help 'visualbell'", to disable both visual and audio
bell, you must set 'visualbell' *ON* (not off),
I assume this is because if you turn off visual bell it is assumed that
you would want an audible one?
and clear the
corresponding pseudo-termcap entry, as follows:
" no bells wanted
set vb t_vb=
" must reset it again when the GUI starts
if has("gui")
autocmd GUIEnter * set t_vb=
endif
I don't know what a pseudo-termcap entry is but naively I don't see why
you have to renew a command you've already given when the GUI starts up.
Thanks again,
Rob.
