Multiple Beeps

We use BEL=CHAR(7) to make a beep on errors.  We would like to have the ability to have 2 beeps or 3 beeps, but multiple beeps get combined into one.  I have only been able to get multiple beeps by adding SLEEP 2 between the BEL's.  Is there another way to get more than one beep to come through?

Thanks!

Rob,

While I don't know what terminal emulator you are using, does it support macros - as does wIntegrate? If so you should be able to play a sound by sending a macro to the termulator to invoke a specific audio file with 2 or three tones.
