Function:    BLIP()

Purpose:     Generate a blipping sound for warnings or errors.

Syntax:      BLIP( [ count ] )

Arguments:   count       - Optional numeric value specifying the number of
                           times to make a BLIP sound.  If no parameter is
                           specified, one BLIP will be sounded.

Returns:     Zero.

Description: BLIP() is a convenient function whenever you want to make the
             PC speaker emit a short "BLIP" sound, such as when the user
             encounters an error condition.  The Clipper function to do
             this is TONE( frequency, duration ).  For a Blip sound, the
             frequency would be 500Khz and the duration should be around
             2/18ths of a second.  Instead of having to remember
             TONE(500,2) as being the function to make a BLIP sound, it is
             much easier to simply use a function named BLIP().

Notes:       No limitations other than one that may be imposed upon the
             Clipper TONE() function.

Example:     *-- user does something wrong
             BLIP()

             *-- user does something really wrong!
             BLIP(3)
