I have IDL 5.2 running on Win95 and printing the above string gives me a funny
looking box without any sound. The 'beep' function does the trick though. Can
anyone else with Win95 verify this?
I've always wanted some IDL sound feedback. As long as we are on this, is
there anything out there in IDL (simple) for playing a 'wav' file?
Thanks,
Bill B.

I'm thinking we should have a contest to see who can
find the most undocumented features in IDL. How about
this one:
Contour, peak, NLEVELS=12, /Really
