How about a 3-way gadget in Preferences like this?
-----------------------------------------------------------
| BEEP | FLASH | USER-SUPPLIED |
-----------------------------------------------------------
Selecting "beep" would cause ^G to be a short sine-tone "blip".
Selecting "flash" would cause ^G to flash the screen as it does now.
Selecting "user-supplied" would read the IFF 8SVX file "S:BeepSound"
and use it as the beep.
Perhaps S:BeepSound would be required to be a one-shot sample
with duration less than 0.5 seconds, or something like that.
