beeps!

[Will Rickards WT]

I have the sound muted and even a checkbox where it says disable pc speaker in audio properties.
Yet when I am citrixed in to a client from which I remote desktop to another server and open up a korn shell instance which is from the mks toolkit, I get beeps when I screw up on the command line.
I quickly put in a .exrc for the beeps to go away in vi.
But yet the beeps persist on the command line!

How do I make them go away?
This has got to be a korn shell setting or something.

Pull the PC speaker connector off the motherboard. I only put that on for diagnostics.

There's a visible bell howto out there somewhere that will probably put you on the right track.

Unfortunately this is a company laptop and I don't think opening it would be wise as it is under a service contract with Dell.

I searched for like a half hour and couldn't find the right thing.
I found one for bash.
set bell-style none in .inputrc
but no equivalent for ksh (korn shell).

I spoke too soon, using keywords based on your statement I was able to find the howto. Now it gets complicated.

Oh, woops I didn't know it was a laptop. I wouldn't do that either.

Bah! It speaks of terminfo and such like. It reads like I would understand what that stuff is and how to change it.

This is also a client's box, so I was hoping to be able to put some file in the home directory that would turn it off instead of messing with their terminal types directly.
