I am writing a batch file that requires the user to remove the floppy disk from the a: drive. How do I make the computer beep or create an alert tone to advise the user that that the disk is ready to be taken out?

ok - easy one.
in EDIT, type the following
ECHO P 007 (numeric keypad)
If num-lock is on, this will produce a beep sound from the PC speaker

you can echo out a bell character its ascii 07. to get it to display a ascii 07 hold down the left alt key and press 07 on the numeric keypad(i think you can also use ctrl G)
