   Thanks for the simple BAT method. The following shows how to let it beep 
using VB Script: 

--- cut ---------------

Set WShShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WShShell.Popup "It Beeps",1,"Beep Box Title",vbOK

-------- cut off  ----- 

   This displays a popup box with the text "It Beeps" and the title "Beep Box 
Title" with an OK-button for 1 second, and it beeps. Here it makes a little 
sound (ding.wav) out of the current sound scheme, and using the sound card 
(well, one could have the same effect by selecting the action "Play Sound" and 
selecting "ding.wav"). I don't know how this behaves when there is no sound 
card (all machines I have here do have a sound card installed). You also might 
want to add a CHR(7) to the string being displayed. 

   In the action "External Hook" you have to configure such a script as 
"WScript path\beep.vbs"

   Alternatively, there is also the "echo" method, but with WScript this opens 
a popup window which has to be closed with the OK button; I have not tried out 
how this behaves with CScript (the command line version of VB Scripting host). 

  Such a script would be a one liner: 

  CScript.Echo  CHR(7)

  To be executed in background. 

Yours,
