   ... and then I found (Google is your friend, still) a freeware DOS programm 
called BEEP.EXE, compatible with the BEEP.EXE of the good old copyrighted 
Norton Utilites BEEP.EXE (I have one dated 1987), but much enhanced, and which 
can also be told the frequency and duration to play on the box' speaker, 
similar to the BEEP REXX function presented by Oliver Ebert in his little REXX 
script "Yippee.cmd".

  Calling this BEEP.EXE directly as the external hook resulted in nothing, I 
had to wrap it into a VBS script: 

---- cut -------------
  Set Doit = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  Doit.RUN("E:\util\Freebeep\beep.exe")
--------- cut off -----

   Call the script using CScript. Don't try calling the Doit.RUN in a loop 
with different /Fn (for frequency) parameters, otherwise it will open a new 
DOS window for every execution. 

Yours,
