I've only got one problem today. When it tries to beep, it insists on flashing the screen. Unfortunately, that takes a little time--about half a second. That's pretty annoying. I'd like to turn off the screen flashing. I've looked into the code a bit and found that "visible-beep" is supposed to handle this, but it doesn't. It's set to nil and it still flashes the screen. I'm using emacstool, maybe that's flashing the window? Or maybe the ttysubwindow that emacstool has made is doing it??? Any ideas? -- Rodney
