I don't know if 0x60 is correct either, but I think you can use
LVODisplayBeep.  Just declare it as, hmm, what would that be?
Maybe int	LVODisplayBeep[];
or int LVODisplayBeep; then use &LVODisplayBeep.

Anyway, just suppose it's 0x60 ...

What I wanted to say was that the little function you replace DisplayBeep
with had better be reentrant, because people call this sucker a whole lot.
It would also be nice if it didn't run synchronously (which might lead you
to THINK it's reentrant), so that people don't have to wait for you to
be done beeping 100 times if they hold down a repeating key in a string
gadget or something.

I guess I just wanted to comment that beeping is harder than one (I) might
think.
