Well the easiest way is to set hilights in your irc client. I use irssi, but I imagine Bx has the same sort of features... from my irssi config: bell_beeps = "yes"; // enable console beeps for irssi beep_msg_level = "HILIGHT MSGS"; // this sets beeps on hilighted words and private messages So now doing /hilight devil will beep me whenever devil speaks Next in my .screenrc I have: #turn off visual bell, beep instead vbell off #audiable bell for messages bell_msg "Bell in window %n ^G" So Slink3r all you need to figure out is how to set up bell beeps within Bx -- -----Angelina Carlton----- orchid on irc.freenode.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] web:bzgirl.bakadigital.com -------------------------- _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
