Yes, put a literal Control G into an echo command.

What do you mean with "literal control G"?
I read something about "echo ^G" when searching with google for a
solution but it don't work too.
I think the "^" ist a symbol for a key combination.

^G is used to mean control-g since the actual character is a non-printing
character.
Quite how you insert the control-G character into a file depends on which
editor you use.
Personally, I use EDIT. In EDIT, you press the sequence control-p control-g

OK, that works.
Thanks.

If you don't know how to enter a ^G (ASCII character with the value 0x07)
with your editor, enter at the CMD prompt:
copy con test.bat
echo <CTRL>g<CTRL>z
Then you can copy&paste the line from test.bat into your bat file.
<CTRL>g means, press the <CTRL> key and hold it then also press g
(like you press <SHIFT>g for an upper case G).

ISTM that command-line/batch echo ^G gives a discreet beep from the
internal speaker, but EKKO 7 gives, some of the time, a loud Boing
from the external system - not always, because the external system may
not be energised. EKKO is a simple BP7 program, via <URL:http://www.mer
lyn.demon.co.uk/programs/00index.htm>, using Write.
(A) ISTM that it would be useful, in the FAQ, to say which methods use
the internal beeper and which use the "music" system - if it's
consistent across machines.
(B) In BP7, how can I cause the beeper to beep in the presence of the
"music" system? The Boing is uncertain and can be loud.
Note newsgroups line.
