Hi Barrie,

The DosBeep() API will allow you to sound the system tone device.

 #define INCL_DOSPROCESS
 /*******************************************/
 /* DosBeep generates sound from the        */
 /* speaker.                                */
 /*******************************************/

 ULONG   Frequency;
 ULONG   Duration;
 APIRET  rc;         /*  Return Code. */

 rc = DosBeep ( Frequency,  Duration)


 Frequency (ULONG) - input
    Cycles per second (Hertz) in the range of hex 25 to hex 7FFF.

 Duration (ULONG) - input
    The length of the sound in milliseconds.


 rc (APIRET) - returns

    DosBeep returns the following values:

    0         NO_ERROR
    395       ERROR_INVALID_FREQUENCY

Perhaps you should get a DevCon subscription so that you will have the
complete documentation in the OS/2 Developer's Toolkit.

Dave
