	How about a 3-way gadget in Preferences like this?

        -----------------------------------------------------------
        |     BEEP      |     FLASH       |     USER-SUPPLIED     |
        -----------------------------------------------------------

	Selecting "beep" would cause ^G to be a short sine-tone "blip".
Selecting "flash" would cause ^G to flash the screen as it does now.
Selecting "user-supplied" would read the IFF 8SVX file "S:BeepSound" 
and use it as the beep.
	Perhaps S:BeepSound would be required to be a one-shot sample
with duration less than 0.5 seconds, or something like that.
