I've just compiled up MicroEMACS 3.10 on my ST (Using MWC), and at first 
I thought all was hunky-dory. Then I went and used it on another machine which
happened to have the monitor sound turned up (mine's turned down 'cos I don't
like keyclick). Imagine my surprise when, every time the cursor was XOR'ed, 
a sound like a chiming bell was emitted. Not the normal beep/click sound, but
a *really* annoying bell sound. I then tried it on my own machine with the
sound turned up, and it does exactly the same. I hate it!

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what the heck causes it? I can't
see anything obvious, and I've certainly never come across it in the
documentation anywhere. All help gratefully received.

Thanx in advance,

-Chrisl.
