- The <STRONG>beep</STRONG> and <STRONG>flash</STRONG> routines are used to alert the terminal
- user. The routine <STRONG>beep</STRONG> sounds an audible alarm on the
- terminal, if possible; otherwise it flashes the screen
- (visible bell). The routine <STRONG>flash</STRONG> flashes the screen, and
- if that is not possible, sounds the alert. If neither
- alert is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals
- have an audible alert (bell or beep), but only some can
- flash the screen.
