The '''BELL''' internal function returns a character which, when printed, sounds the printer's or terminal's bell. It is used mainly in PRINT statements.

===Comments and Examples===

00010 PRINT BELL
00020 PRINT #255: BELL, BELL, BELL
00030 PRINT BELL;
00040 PRINT BELL, NEWPAGE, "ERROR"

Line 10 causes a tone or beep to sound at the terminal. Line 20 causes the printer's bell (if it has one) to sound three times. Line 30 produces a beep at the terminal, but keeps the cursor on the same line; this variation is often useful with full screen processing. Line 40 sounds the tone, clears the screen and prints the message ERROR at the bottom of the screen.
