For the record, this is normally interpreted only by the DOS prompt itself,
which is where stdout is meaningful.  And the regular escape "\a" is
an alias for that (ASCII name BEL for obvious reasons).

Try "echo ^G" (where you type the keystroke Ctrl-G to get that) at the
DOS prompt for the same effect.
