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; oth-
- erwise 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 audi-
- ble alert (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen.
