When I set the Alert Volume on my MacBook Pro 10.5.6 to maximum using  
the System Preference pane, then do 'put the beepLoudness, I get  
'16777472'; when I set it to minimum the beepLoudness is 0. Setting  
the beepLoudness to -1 gives the same results Berndt and Mark got. If  
I do 'set the beepLoudness to 16777472' it restores the max beep  
volume. But the Sound preference pane interface is not updated until I  
exit the Sound pane and return to it. I can set the beepLoudness to  
50% like this: 'set the beepLoudness to 16777472/2'.
