   When you send a data stream to stdout, you can include   
   a '\a' (alert) which in ASCII is ctrl-G, BEL, to sound an alarm   
   at the destination terminal.   
      
   What is the logic behind this functionality? Bells have nothing   
   to do with display. Meaning stdout is not a display stream.   
      
   You may as well have control codes for "put the coffee   
   machine on" and "play AC/DC - Back in Black". If this was   
   a "smart home" you could have these things available. But   
   is the stdout stream the appropriate place to drive them?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
