Windows has overwritten the interrupt for BEEP to use their own sound (which does not work well in my programs).
How can I use the PC speaker sound for BEEP while I run a program, then restore the Windows settings on termination.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.(John 3:16)

You could use the SOUND command instead.

Or PLAY.
For instance, PLAY "<l64a" sound a lot like BEEP.
f only life let you press CTRL-Z.

put a pan over your head and bludgeon it. The ringing will never go away Smile No person with a heart uses that accursed pc speaker
