Changing the system bell

To start the Bell control, double-click on the Bell icon in the Preferences Editor, located in the Controls window.

To increase or decrease the bell volume, pitch, or duration, drag the respective slider bar to the left or right. The system bell sounds when the mouse button is released. Bell volume can only be controlled on X terminals; this feature is not supported by the SCO X server.

To hear the current Bell settings, click on the bell icon at the top of the Bell window.

To return to the default settings, (volume 50, pitch 40KHz, duration .10 seconds), click on the Default button.

NOTE: Changes remain in effect only for the duration of your current session.

To change the default slider bar ranges, see scobell(XC).
