I've got a 8 bit color sparcstation-1 here that I'm using gnu emacs(18.54) on. I've only got one problem today. When it tries to beep, it insists on flashing the screen. Unfortunately, that takes a little time--about half a second. That's pretty annoying. I'd like to turn off the screen flashing. I've looked into the code a bit and found that "visible-beep" is supposed to handle this, but it doesn't. It's set to nil and it still flashes the screen. I'm using emacstool, maybe that's flashing the window? Or maybe the ttysubwindow that emacstool has made is doing it??? Any ideas? -- Rodney

If you're running X-windows, the solution is (x-set-bell nil). If not, might there be something odd with your termcap file? <_Jym_>

Well, it turns out that it was the ttysubwindow.
For those of you having the same problem, just go over to the defaults
editor in sunview and change visible-beep to disabled. It's really
slow anyway.
