You'd think that maybe there would have been a consideration to allow
configuring the audio for the beep.   I mean, there are certainly a lot of
options for fonts and colours.  But the audio was overlooked?  :(

I actually *do* have Windows Sounds disabled.  Sound Scheme=No Sounds.  But
Apoint forces one out.  Maybe they're doing it with an Ascii BEL char, or ^G ?

I'm going to try this little trick at the CMD line: 

        net stop beep

[some time passes..]

YEP.  That works!  I had a few unread messages addressed to me in another echo,
 and I didn't hear a peep!

Added BONUS:  no more beep at the EOF in the OXP editor!
