Ah, no.  Perhaps the old MWC (pre version 3).  Current version mentions
dosound on pp301-303, but mentions nothing abuot producing a specific
sound, just a demo on making sounds and noises of any type.  You
(J. Ameij) may want to try the Abacus book, Sound and Graphics on the
St, it may mention how to create specific notes with Dosound (however,
the examples there may be in either BASIC or assembler)
