Subject: Pine beeps too much <info request>

Hi.. a quick question for all of you. As many would notice, everytime you hit
a wrong key, or you get new mail, PINE beeps at you. Normally, I wouldn't
care, except, I usually read/send mail late at night, and my roomate's a light
sleeper <Well, my PC speaker's kinda loud too. ;-)>. What I want is a way to
tell PINE to "shut up", so it doesn't beep. My TERMCAP is set for ":vb=:",
thus shutting up EMACS, but I'd very much like to do so to PINE also. Any help
is appreciated. If there's no way to do this, perhaps someone could suggest a
contact address where I could mail the author(s) to both make the suggestion
and inquire for a solution.

Relevant information:

Ultrix 4.4
PINE 3.90
TCSH 6.00.02
VT102 <TERMCAP set>

Thanks, in advance. :-)

The beep is a feature.  You cannot turn it off.
Maybe you should simply take your roommate's advice and
TURN THAT DAMN SPEAKER OFF!
And if you do too much email at night then GET A LIFE!

No, I don't think it'll help.  He's using a PC.

>PINE 3.90, TCSH 6.00.02, VT102, Ultrix 4.4

 PINE 3.91, TCSH 6.06.00, VT320, Linux 1.3pl37
How about upgrading to a real system?
