This has been the traditional first question on the IDL
Expert Programmer's Association entrance exam. It weeds
the rift-raft out pretty quickly. If RSI documented it,
we would have to come up with a new question, and you
know how committees work. We'd be stuck for months. :-(
And, anyway, what would you say about it!? Beep -- makes
your computer issue a "bing" sound. There would be nothing
but controversy in going that route.
I think we should just leave well enough alone.
Cheers,
David

BEEP works on Unix systems too, at least on terminals that have a
simulated (or real) bell.

Now, for bonus points, (as if David hasn't racked up enough already),
how can this be made to work in emacs IDLWAVE mode?

On UNIX systems you can try this:
IDL> Print, String(7B)
On PCs, you can try this:
IDL> Beep
This goes "beep", rather than "bing", of course. But
maybe you could get used to it. :-)
Cheers,
David
