>CHR(7) does not have a consistent sound between machines and really can not be heard on some. Setting BEEP to a WAV file does not play on a machine without a sound card. What I would really like is to know if there is a BEEP that has tone and duration control.

You could try:

procedure beep_beep
*
* nBeep =  0 default sound (no icon w.r.t. MessageBox)
*         16 critical stop (stop sign)
*         32 question      (question mark)
*         48 exclamation   (exclamation point)
*         64 asterisk      (information symbol)
*
parameter nBeep
declare integer MessageBeep in Win32API ;
   Integer nBeep
=MessageBeep(nBeep)
return

Don't know if sound card is required though. I don't have a machine without all this anymore to try it with.
