Well, I suppose I should read all 86 pages of the manual. That should only
take a couple hours.
When I did read the man page(s), I searched for "beep". Since the
documentation considers the correct term to be "bell", I didn't find it. I
don't know anybody who calls it a "bell".

No, no, no.
Chet didn't create that feature, *I* did, so *I* get to be the jerk.
