I'm trying to generate a simple tone (at least for now) to alert the user
that something important is happening.  The only facility I've found is the
MessageBeep () function which is always supposed to be passed a 0 and 
generates the familiar (but meek) "you clicked where you're not supposed to
click" "bip".

I would like to generate a REAL tone to get the user's attention.

Eventually, I would like to use a more realistic bell sound and use the sound
capabilities of Windows.

Please, if you know anything about Windows and sound, respond or email ASAP.

Thanks,

jeff@tct.com
