Would it be possible to have someone press a beep verb, select a user, and a sound rings only on the person selected's computer?

It'd be a good thing to add to BYOND Homes and BYOND Chat Rooms.

Beep(mob/M as mob in world)

Yep. Just have a beep.wav in your folder, and you can do this:
mob/verb/beep(mob/M as mob in world)
   M << sound('beep.wav')
   M << "Wake up! [usr] wants you!"

There used to be an escape code that caused a beep. something like cntl-G or something. I dont know if it would work. try this:

M << "^G Wakeup!"

it might need to be wrapped inside something. readup on displaying ascii code characters.

Actually something cool about DM is the <BEEP> tag it beeps the server when used.

Er, no it doesn't. It sounds a tone on the computer's internal speaker whenever Dream Seeker sees it.

And the beep tag is vanishing... quickly.

Yes that tag is kind of annoying. Though if you want someones attention it's the way to go. (just don't put it in communication verbs, ick!)
