The reason why VT100 doesn't work with beepit is that it uses its own code to generate the beep. There is an init file option which controls the beep. Set to zero, the screen flashes. Anything higher than 0 is a volume level for the beep. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
