Author Can not get the 'bell' to work in the sheel window

Ok, I've got sound working in RH 9.0.93, and most else is OK - getting
used to the 'look' but ...

I can not get the bell to sound in a console/shell window in X

Ctrl G just turns the icon for the shell inot a bell shape for a second or
two and nothing. The bell is set to system notification but there is no
enrty in the system notifications bit of sounds for the shell


So what do I do ??

Regads and TIA

See if any or all of following work. If not check mixer settings for
speaker volume (which refers to pc speaker, not main volume):

echo -ne \\a
echo -ne "\a"
perl -e "print qq(\a);"

Try

$ xset q

look for 'bell percent:'

can be changed with

$ xset b 100
