Remember that Revolution will run on many different platforms. What the 
dictionary means is that Mac and Windows OS do not support changing the 
beep pitch, and only some Unix varieties support it. On those Unix 
flavors that do support it, the commands will work. If you are not 
writing for a Unix OS that supports changing the beep pitch, then you 
should ignore this command.
