System name: jubjub-bird
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 6.4R
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
Get rid of the @#$%^& beeping bell.
What's wrong:
The csh(1) man page says:
The use of the terminal bell to signal errors or multiple
matches can be inhibited by setting the variable nobeep.
It lies. Setting the variable appears to have no effect whatsoever on
the bell.
What should have happened:
The terminal should have stopped giving me Pavlovian conditioning.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Manual page - csh(1)
