NAME
     bell - Ring a display's bell

SYNOPSIS
     bell ?-displayof window? ?-nice?
_________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
     This command rings the bell on the display  for  window  and
     returns  an empty string.  If the -displayof option is omit-
     ted, the display of the application's main window is used by
     default.  The command uses the current bell-related settings
     for the display, which may be modified with programs such as
     xset.

     If -nice is not specified,  this  command  also  resets  the
     screen saver for the screen.  Some screen savers will ignore
     this, but others will reset so that the screen becomes visi-
     ble again.
