[quoted lines by RAYNER Peter on November 25, 2002, at 17:42] >and my /boot/beep file simply contains the one character ctrl-g >'\007', however you want to put it. The first thing to do is to verify that this file indeed does contain a CTRL-G. The simplest way to test this is to cat it. If you hear a beep then the file is good. If you don't then it isn't. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
