Oh yeah, the old turn my PC into a typewriter or teletype trick:)
Try this.

#include 
#include 

void TType(char*);

int main()
{   
 TType("\nThis is a Borland C example of a sick typewriter");
 return 0;
}

void TType(char *text)
{
 char *ptr = text;
 while(*ptr)   
 {
  sound(100);  /* play with this */
  delay(20);   /* and this */
  putchar(*ptr++);
  nosound();
  delay(90);   /* and this */
  }
}


1. So, we're in the loop, and set a sound. sound(100) in this case. 
2. Ok, the sound is playing, we have to tell it how long, delay(20) will 
set 20 milliseconds, this is Borland's command for WAIT.
3. Then we output the character we're pointing at in MyStr. 
4. Switch off the sound.
5. Another delay here to simulate a pause between characters.
6. Loop away until the end of the string.

See how you go..play around with the values until you get the desired
speed/sound combination.             

Btw, there is another command for WAIT in Borland, sleep(seconds) 
Mostly for longer delays, since both takes an UINT the smallest value is 
1 second and 1 millisecond for sleep() and delay() respectively.
