The beep that Rev plays on Windows isn't very pleasant.  A long time  
ago a client complained about it and so I implemented the beep sound  
that Windows apps usually play.  This worked on Win2000 and XP at the  
time though I haven't tested it in a while.

put queryRegistry ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default 
\SystemExclamation\.Default\") \
	into tWinBeepFile							
replace "%SystemRoot%" with specialFolderPath ("System") in tWinBeepFile
replace "/" with "\" in tWinBeepFile
if there is a file tWinBeepFile then
     play tWinBeepFile
end if
