I know CTRL-G is supposed to make a beep, it has made one on every computer I have owned since 1988, except this one.

    huh. thats weird. i promise you that i tested CTRL + G in CMD.EXE and Command.COM and it work on both. but i wonder if Windows version has something to do with this? Mine is Window 2000 but wat is yours computeruler and Carbon?

    we understand about pressing ctrl + G in a cmd or command window, but how do you get it into a batch file?

      sorry you guys. :-\ i found that you can only make a batch file beep if you write the batch file in edlin. Notepad and Edit, dont work. but Edlin will put the beep in the batch program.

          echo ^G into a file, open the file with notepad and you are left with this charachter that makes the beep

            computeruler you have to open command prompt, and goto were you put edlin. then type edlin <name of file>.<extension> to run edlin.

            and Diablo. the  means an unknown symbol. if you try to copy and paste that into another batch program to make it beep, it'll just skip that.

                in cmd.exe type echo then type CTRL+G so it looks like this echo ^G then append it to a file, echo ^G>>file.txt & notepad file.txt and get the symbol that way..
