I noticed the "beep" problem almost immediately. To my way of
thinking it seemed that it might just be because the computers are so
fast these days that one of them covers up the other one. So I just
put in a short wait statement after each one and my problem was
solved. Maybe that's something RR should automatically do, but maybe
not. Any time I have some doubt as to whether something I'm used to
using in HC works in RR, I just test it in the msg box. Otherwise, I
agree with you 200%.

Thanks for explaining it for me. This is another example of RunRev

that
appears white.
Maybe this is a two camps thing between those that understand
programming
and those like me who want to use RunRev to do stuff like I
formerly used
HyperCard and like I use Photoshop or Excel and when I use it to do
stuff
I'd like it to make sense at least for the simple things I understand.
In other words I understand "beep twice" and I expect the software to
understand it too.
I am glad I can talk about this stuff to the list here because I
tried using
the bug report way once and was told that the invisible gray
background is a
feature and I'm sure I would be told that the command to tell the
number of
times to beep which doesn't work without adding another command is
a feature
too.

Normal behavior. See the docs:
"Cross-platform note: Windows and OS X do not execute the beep
command
if it's issued while a beep is playing.
