Unfortunately, in Motif 1.0, the default is to have the bell sound whenever the verification returns without continuing the action. But, in Motif 1.1, there is a new resource for Text widgets called XmNverifyBell. Setting it to False will turn off the above bell. For now, you might try messing with a call to XChangeKeyboardControl(). Hope this helps, Carl Scholz OSF/Motif QA scholz@osf.osf.org
