R "alarm"

[Dennis Fisher <fisher@plessthan.com>]

Colleagues,

I recently discovered that R permits the user to generate a beep with the command alarm() or cat("\a").  I can't find a command comparable to alarm() is Splus 8 and cat("\a") yields an error message.  Is there a work-around available in S-plus?
