Sorry for the late reply!
The regular bell character starts to beep, stops beeping after a short
time, and then lets me continue.
The freecom beep starts to beep, beeps forever (I presume, I haven't
tested it that long) and doesn't let me do anything else.
I was able to fix my copy via the hex

patches are not too helpful in an open source OS.

you aren't entirely clear in your bug description:
does it start to beep, and then

Thanks, I will try the patch out when I get a little time.
The regular bell character doesn't hang, so I wonder why freecom
implements its own version.

This was reported at least twice in recent years:
1). 2016-May-6: "[Freedos-devel] Beep command can't stop sounding when
run in Intel Skylelake platorm."

FreeDOS does only hangs for a little bit on the message.
My version is "0.84-pre2" the version that ships with the standard USB install.
So the problem does not appear to be delay().
Maybe the problem is nosound()?
Maybe the keyboard has an error? or the computer itself?
I can write a test program
Hi!
In short, your FreeCOM beeps are infinitely long.
As you saym beep_l.c and beep_n.c implements them
as beep_low() and beep() as follows:
void beep_low(void)
{
sound(900);
delay(200); /* 400 */
nosound();
delay(100);
}
void beep(void)
{
sound(900);
delay(200); /* 400 */
