Does one need to do anything besides SETQ LAFITENEWMAILTUNE to a TUNE to get it to work?  I tried it but nothing happens when I get new mail.'

	"One has to run on a Dandelion."'

Not anymore!  I''ve taught my D0 how to do it (with some help from a TI sound chip).  I''ve got PLAY running but I am as yet NEWMAILTUNE-less.  Restart Lafite perhaps?'

That''s very nice, but of course Lafite has no way of knowing you are on a machine that can play tunes.  Calling PLAYTUNE on an ordinary Dolphin or Dorado just hangs.'
'
Have you redefined PLAYTUNE?  If so, and we changed the system PLAYTUNE to be a no-op on non-Dandelions, then Lafite could go ahead and call it without checking your machine type first.'

Ah - I deduce from your answer that Lafite refuses to call PLAYTUNE unless it''s running on a Dandelion?  I didn''t even change that much - I just redefined BEEPON and BEEPOFF.  I thought PLAYTUNE already was a NOP on D0''s.'
