I thought that the "beep' function might come in handy sometime, so I
tried it.  I received the message that it was NOT installed and had to
do an
apt-get install beep
after which it worked fine.
So - don't assume that it is installed already. It may NOT beep simply
because that program is not there.  If it does beep then more to the good.
