Occasionally, you may want to get a user's attention. Two low-level ETI routines are designed to help you do this--they let you ring the terminal's chimes and flash its screen.
flash flashes the screen if possible, and otherwise rings the bell. Flashing the screen is intended as a bell replacement, and is particularly useful if the bell bothers someone within ear shot of the user. The routine beep can be called when a real beep is desired. (If for some reason the terminal is unable to beep, but able to flash, a call to beep will flash the screen.)
