Our coder figured it out. It triggers a "beep" in Windows. Not sure how he did it, so sorry for a poor follow-up.

I think that \a is just the escape code for the beep that Conner described.

But yes, looking at SMAUG's beep command would be a good starting point.

Yes, Conner is right, that would work for e.g. telnet. But for other clients, it would depend on whether or not the client is set up to handle the bell signal.

Wouldn't that just be a matter of sending an ansi ctrl-G (ascii 07)?

Not the pager as in page length, but the one that triggers your client's audio like a beeper?
