BELL
Function
Set the bell flag in a DISPTEXT statement.
(sound a bell when prompt displayed)
Value
2048 = 100000000000b = 4000o = 800h
Remarks
The DISPTEXT statement has the ability to sound a bell before
displaying the actual text of a prompt. This is useful when you want
to get the users attention when displaying information. It sends a
^G (ASCII 7) character to the remote caller and sounds the alarm on
the local computer running PCBoard (unless the alarm has been toggled
off). It is the responsibility of the users terminal software to
support the ^G.
Example
' Get the users attention and display the closed board prompt
DISPTEXT 11,BELL+LFAFTER+LFBEFORE
