Re: List of backslash printing controls?

[Bill Denney]

Windows often interprets the beep characters through the sound card.  This 
may not be an octave problem, but a windows issue.

Look at this to see if it is what you're talking about: 
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1112340985

A test would be to go to the command prompt, press Ctrl-G, press enter. 
If you hear a PC speaker beep, then it's an octave problem, and if you 
don't then it's a windows/computer problem.
