 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
