Sun-Managers,
My origianl question:
>> One of my users wanted to set the error bell off in vi, but the
>> set noerrorbells option did not turn off the bell.
>>
>> The machine is a Sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.1.1 Rev B. Is there
>> any way to turn the bell off?

Suggestions:
1. Under OpenWindows, you can use the properties sheet to turn off bells.
(This did not work for me.)
2. With xterm, use the -vb (VisualBell) option to lose bells there as well.
(This worked!)
3. Under openlook or X11, xset b 0 0 0.
(There was still a beep, but it was very quiet.)
4. Create a termcap for them, in which "bl=^G" clause is removed.
(I did this for both termcap & terminfo. It works fine.)
5. Create a termcap & terminfo entry that uses the visual bell instead
of the regular beep.
(I didn't try this, but assume its just like option 4.)
Thanks,
