Chris,
Vim has extensive on-line help. Type ":help bell" for starters. There it
will tell you:
"... See 'visualbell' on how to make the bell behave like a beep, screen
flash or do nothing."
That said, I just gave it a try and after issuing ":set vb" I get neither a
flash nor a beep. Perhaps it's a termcap / terminfo problem or maybe I have
my TERM set wrong or something. I've never tried the visual bell before
(under Cygwin) and haven't had any other problems with Vim (or "less")
driving my terminal properly. That is, no problems other than the
disappointing lack of an "alternate page" capability to separate a visual
program's activities from command-line output.
If anybody could tell me how to make that work, I'd appreciate it.
