Re[2]: PC Sounds from AS/400

[ericadelong@xxxxxxxx]

Try changing the sound event "Default Sound". This is the one that plays when 
the "Message Waiting" indicator appears on my 5250 emulation product (Rally!) 
You will need to be sure to DSPMSG to reset the MW indicator so that the sound 
will play again for the next error. Also, the DDS command ALARM should cause 
this sound event to play as well. If your app has a message handling routine, 
you might be able to use ALARM to trigger your sound.....

It's the As/400 thats giving the error in the emulation window.  Right now its a
DDS record format that appears as a window on the display.  The error is coming 
on the display before the HLLAPI application is being ran.  The boss is thinking
that
there is someway we should be able to trigger a .wav file.  I'm not sure
of any simple way, but what do I know.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  If I 
dont respond for a few days, I am taking a few days off. TIA
