I should definitely have read the "beep" doc before I posted. For that, I apologize for wasting the list's bandwidth.
OTOH, I'm not entirely sure even this documentor-sweep-this-under-the-rug explanation is really accurate. If it were, I would expect the number of audible beeps to be either unpredictable and almost random or I'd expect there to be some relationship between the number of beeps ordered and the number of beeps actually heard. But in my experience on OS X, at least, the number of beeps heard is always and consistently one fewer than ordered by the script. The doc explanation for this seems to me to fall short of a legitimate explanation of the problem and inclines me to agree with Dar: it's a bug but it's not going to be fixed any time soon, so program around it.
And that's how I'll document it in my eBook!
