1) anyone done bash? 2) when I run gnu emacs -display to my 4D, the bell rings very long. xset b does not shorten it. Any hints? -- Benson I. Margulies

if you're running X version of emacs you can try doing the following
to use "visible bell" instead:
------
(defun bell-off ()
"Turn off audio bell -- Use visible bell"
(interactive)
(if window-system ;if running X
(x-set-bell t) ;use visible bell
(setq-default visible-bell t))) ;otherwise, try to use "vb" (flash
;in terminfo) attribute for your terminal
(bell-off)
-------
the default terminfo entry for wsh doesn't have visible bell capability
specified. (the latest release of OS seems to have xwsh which does support
visible bell). i ended up hacking emacs source (term.c file) to turn
the bell off completely.

In the file .../emacs-18.5?/src/x11term.c (line 706 in 18.57), change the
line "XBell (XXdisplay,50);" to "XBell (XXdisplay,0);". This brings emacs
in line with other X apps in their use of the bell. This is one of the
things I automatically patch when I get a new version of GNU emacs.
Does anybody know (or understand) FSF's reasoning for giving emacs such
an obnoxious bell?

I'm running bash-1.08 as I post this.
