Message-ID: Date: 2 Feb 90 16:42:22 GMT References: <15294@orstcs.CS.ORST.EDU> <3694@cuphub.cup.edu> <9001300643.AA15932@fsucs.cs.fsu.edu> <1990Jan30.182032.26630@agate.berkeley.edu> Sender: root@fulcrum.bt.co.uk (Root on Masalla) Organization: BT Fulcrum, Birmingham, England Lines: 19 I've just compiled up MicroEMACS 3.10 on my ST (Using MWC), and at first I thought all was hunky-dory. Then I went and used it on another machine which happened to have the monitor sound turned up (mine's turned down 'cos I don't like keyclick). Imagine my surprise when, every time the cursor was XOR'ed, a sound like a chiming bell was emitted. Not the normal beep/click sound, but a *really* annoying bell sound. I then tried it on my own machine with the sound turned up, and it does exactly the same. I hate it! Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what the heck causes it? I can't see anything obvious, and I've certainly never come across it in the documentation anywhere. All help gratefully received. Thanx in advance, -Chrisl. -- "Time is an illusion.
