Is there a DOS command making your machine BEEP?
Or any other way of creating this sound in a batchfile?
Thanks,
Pjotr

use [^G] -- thats [ctrl key]+["g" key] in you batch file. i don't know the Alt+ combination for it but here's how i create it.

start copy con at the prompt like so:
c:\copy con beep.bat [enter]

you will lose the prompt but that's normal and just type:

ECHO [ctrl key]+["g" key][enter]
[ctrl key]+["z" key][enter]

using the key combinations described above.
you will then have a file 'beep.bat', edit it and there is a line:

ECHO *

where asterisk is actually the symbol for ^G. run it and it beeps!
