Beeping to Get Attention

To enter BEEP in a program:
1. Enter a number that specifies the tone frequency in hertz.
2. Enter a number that specifies the tone duration in seconds.
3. Enter the BEEP command (!°L%OUT% L menu).
« ... frequency duration BEEP ... »
BEEP takes two arguments from the stack: the tone frequency from level 2 and the tone duration from level 1.
Example: The following edited version of TPROMPT sounds a 440-hertz, one-half-second tone at the prompt
for data input.
Program:
«
"ENTER a, b IN ORDER:"
