A beep could also mean that you don't have enough free memory to launch the
DA Handler.

If I'm not mistaken, Apple DTS has officially sanctified the use of a folder
called "Preferences" in the System Folder for preference files.  Programs
have to be written to know about this folder, but if programmers start using
it, it will have the nice effect of reducing the number of preference files
in the system folder to a manageable number.
