BEEP
sound BEEP activates the inbuilt sound functions on the OL. BEEP can accept a variable
number of parameters
to
give various levels of control over the sound produced. The
minimum specification requires only a duration and pitch
to
be specified. BEEP used
with no parameters
will
kill
any sound being generated.
