No problem. After solving my own beep problems I wrote the following command called "twinke-beeps," (GPL, all rights reserved) which proves that Sarge is still a contender in state-of-the-art multimedia: beep -f 1000 -n -f 1000 -n -f 1500 -n -f 1500 -n -f 1700 -n -f 1700 -n -r 2 -f 1500 -n -f 1350 -n -f 1350 -n -f 1300 -n -f 1300 -n -f 1150 -n -f 1150 -n -f 1000
