As I explore IPAMenu.kmn with the single step in the debugger, I am learning much.
I did not notice before, but the 'Beep' command is beeping at me. My computer's sound is on and functions. And from the single stepping I know the 'Beep' is called, but it doesn't sound.

| Marc Durdin Tavultesoft Staff | Sorry, I'm slightly confused - are you saying the beep statement is working in normal use but not in the debugger? That could be the case; if so I can log this as an issue to address in a future update (low priority though) | ||

| br Julian Griffin OSL | Sorry about that, I think I left out a 'Not' somewhere.
I have just tried the following code in both the debugger and an installed keyboard, and neither produces a 'Beep'.

| Marc Durdin Tavultesoft Staff | If no sound is being emitted, it may be that the sound is disabled in Windows; Keyman uses the 'Asterisk' system sound, so check the 'System Sounds' Control Panel, for the 'Asterisk' item, and make sure that it is set and working. | ||

| br Julian Griffin OSL | At first, I thought that you must be wrong, as my computer does produce sounds, sometimes too much sound. But I have learnt not to dismiss things until they have been properly investigated.
Googling: Windows 10 and Sound, I found that there are problems with this. So, as advised, I started to update drivers, search manufacturer website, and reboot many times; all to no avail. But 'Perseverance is oft the payment of success.' So I start looking for other way to fix this. ...time passes... Eventually, I right-click on the Volume icon in the windows’ Notification tray, and, just because I had not clicked on it before, I clicked on the Volume Mixer; and low & behold, I see that the Systems Sounds has been muted. I un-mute it and the Beep command functions as expected; problem has gone away. How on earth the System Sounds got muted in the first place I have no idea. But this post stream can be closed, by reason of user incompetence. Thank you and God bless. Julian | ||
