???I cant find text on creating a beep command.
Im tring to do a program for a class at school. it ask to add a beep to one of the processes but I dont know how to create a beepAlt+007 seems to be the answer. Go here http://www.jpsdomain.org/windows/winshell.html and scroll down to "Simple Utilities"

Good luck

thanks ill try that right now so i can download my programNot good, not good; that makes every KEY you hit beep,
I need it to only beep once when it's time for inputnow i need to know how to make it stop!Please post your scriptThe beep quit when I shut down. I uploaded my script without the beep, the second one on there works, the Ctel ^ G. just havent gotten far enough to know how to add Ctrl and Alt to scrips yet. But im stll learning. I did get credit for trying to find a working solution. Thanks for the help.What the instruction means is that at the point where you want a beep you hold down the ALT key then type 007 on the numeric pad to the right of your keyboard then release the Alt key. Before doing this you must hold down CTRL and hit the "p" key to indicate that the following CHARACTER is a "special", release the Ctrl key after typing p. This will put some sort of special character in your script depending on what OS you are using. I tried it in a straight .bat file created using Edit and it works in Win.98se and XP Home.

The sequence could be like this:

CLS
(hold down Ctrl and hit p then release Ctrl)
(hold down ALT and type 007 on the numeric pad then release Alt)
(a special character will be seen here)
DIR C:

On execution a beep will be produced and a directory listing will follow.

Hope this makes sense to you.This help me UNDERSTAND how to put a special key into a script. I am Taking UNIX/Linux networking this summer.

All last year we were in Windows 2000 sever, and in the fall I will be taking win xp 2003.

So any thing I learn will help me.

I started with dos v.1.22 back in the early eighties, everything was command line then so I am enjoying Linux.
Thanks again.
