       The bbeeeepp and ffllaasshh routines are used to alert the terminal
       user.   The  routine  bbeeeepp  sounds an audible alarm on the
       terminal, if possible; otherwise  it  flashes  the  screen
       (visible bell).  The routine ffllaasshh flashes the screen, and
       if that is not possible, sounds  the  alert.   If  neither
       alert  is possible, nothing happens.  Nearly all terminals
       have an audible alert (bell or beep), but  only  some  can
       flash the screen.

       These  routines  return  OOKK  if they succeed in beeping or
       flashing, EERRRR otherwise.

       SVr4's beep and flash routines always returned OOKK,  so  it
       was not possible to tell when the beep or flash failed.

       These  functions  are  defined in the XSI Curses standard,
       Issue 4.  Like SVr4, it specifies that they always  return
       OOKK.
