When reading the book "Learning GNU Emacs" (from D. Cameron), I see that emacs should normally beep in certain circumstances, e.g. when leaving emacs after the current buffer has been modified and the changes haven't been saved to the corresponding file and you don't answer "yes" or "no". In my case, no beep at all is heard, and I cannot figure out why. I have added in my .emacs file the line:=20 (setq ring-bell-function 'beep) with no success. I also tried browsing the customization, unsuccesfully. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank's in advance, Fr=C3=A9d=C3=A9ric.
