But if you look at the code, you see that (signal 'quit nil) is always executed. If you get a beep depends on whether the quit is caught. But the behavior should be independent from how you invoke `keyboard-quit' in one and the same context - either the quit signal gets caught (no beep) or it isn't (beep). Michael.
