The only way that seems to work, and work pretty good at that, is to after
calling DisplayBeep(), LoadRGB() your color list again.  Shouldn't take more
time and is far safer.  Also, for term programs, do like Wombat (oh for source
to this baby...) and Have checkmarks for the beep:
Visual
Beep   (the routine for this was posted a while ago and is also available on
	a local board:  Rising Star 300/1200/2400   24hrs.  214-231-1372)
Talking   Say stuff like: "Download Complete"     "Line busy!"  "No Carrier"
	  maybe - but just maybe! - have it read what's coming in - as an option

Well, hope VT100   2.1 will auto-wrap after 80 columns.  It gets annoying when
the cursor sticks on the edge...  Nice job on 2.0   I have some sort of a copy
of AmigaTerm 1.27 and VT100 does a far nicer job - especially for bold.
AmigaTerm uses the SetSoftStyle() evidently which produces wider than 8 pixel
letters and messes up everything.  Now, how about somebody with 1.2 and the
font editor staying up late to produce a nice 6 pixel width font for us all
and then somebody can adapt a term to use it - then 128 columns.  Of course,
if somebody (Commodore got any suggestions?) could open a wider-than-640 pixel
screen and make it fit in Intuition, that would be a better solution.  The
hardware can definately support it.  Somebody want to mess with viewports?
I don't know the first thing about them (yet!).

Go4it people!
