Sometimes, the solution is just too simple, so you don't even think about
it.
Of course, I searched for 'beep' knowing it from other languages.
But when I couldn't find it in idl's help, it didn't came to my mind just
trying beep and look what happens. I thought, if a function doesn't exists
in help then it doesn't also exit in IDL.
Perhaps, the next time I just try things out before I look for similar
expressions like 'bing' ;-).
