RE: Beep when the screen changes

Thank you.

That will certainly help, if during an upgrade I bring up a garbage screen 
so I can make it not be the active window.  It would also be nice if there 
was a way to send a page in case I want to leave the room where the 
console is.

Thanks a bunch,

Gary Kuznitz
