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!                     ../|ug              --- APoint 1.25         * Origin: A POINT WAS BORN - APoint!
