Just a couple of quick questions

1. I would like to disable the bells in VI ( caused , say, by two Esc),
seems that 'set noerrorbells' doesn't stop the bell. What is the
problem? If two Esc are not considered an error why ring the bell in the
first place ? Am I missing something ?

2. I remember a while back someone mentioned ' visual bells' in Vi,
that is instead of a bell the screen flashes should an error occur.
Can someone tell me how to do this ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
