I got one response which told how to output just a bell (without
a linefeed) in a portable and not too clumsy way.  Namely
  echo "^G" | tr -d "\012"
The rest of the responses mostly were to use `echo -n "^G"'
which works ONLY on UCB (whereas I want it to work on both UCB and SV).
Thanks to everyone.
