Richmond,

I don't know if this has been answered (the thread diverged into political 
discourse), but in Rev 2.9 and later your script will give the expected 
results (at least on Windows) if you say,

set the beepsound to internal

set the beepPitch to 220

beep

set the beepPitch to 440

beep

This is because the beep command was changed to use the system alert by 
default, and not the internal PC buzzer, which can do some interesting 
things.

In the middle of the night I awoke with "beep" in my head;

and so looked up:

beepPitch

getting all excited as I did so . . .

popped this into a button:

on mouseUp
set the beepPitch to 220
beep
set the beepPitch to 440
beep
end mouseUp

I don't know what the value of 'beep' is at all as heard no beeps!
