I've just compiled up MicroEMACS 3.10 on my ST (Using MWC), and at first I thought all was hunky-dory. Then I went and used it on another machine which happened to have the monitor sound turned up (mine's turned down 'cos I don't like keyclick). Imagine my surprise when, every time the cursor was XOR'ed, a sound like a chiming bell was emitted. Not the normal beep/click sound, but a *really* annoying bell sound. I then tried it on my own machine with the sound turned up, and it does exactly the same. I hate it! Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what the heck causes it? I can't see anything obvious, and I've certainly never come across it in the documentation anywhere. All help gratefully received. Thanx in advance, -Chrisl. -- "Time is an illusion.

Chris Lilley writes about the 'Bong!' in MicroEmacs 3.10. You haven't configured it correctly. I had this going for a while too, and it was annoying as you know what. Then I read the manual. MicroEmacs 3.10, unlike earlier versions, is a _GEM_ program, so if you're running it from a CLI, you have to do something like: "GEM .../path/emacs.prg <file>" in order to run it correctly. If I recall, you also have to INSTALL it as a GEM application from the desktop. Can't recall right off the top of my head, though. Read the docs (yeah, I realize that they're huge.), it's mentioned in there somewhere. BTW, MicroEmacs 3.10 is _great_! (Supports the mouse and a whole bunch of other stuff.) -- |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |--alex | alex@Atherton.COM | Caution!
