DESCRIPTION

        The  beep  and flash routines are used to alert the terminal user.  The
-       routine beep sounds an audible alarm on the terminal, if possible; oth-
-       erwise it flashes the screen (visible bell).  The routine flash 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.
