Glad to hear it, Morris. In v4+ programming, an introductory
BX es 1Q2 is almost always a good idea. Not only does it suppress
unwanted error beeps, it disables any non-zero default WA setting
which can reduce program execution to a crawl. And it has none of the
anomalies associated with error suppression in v3. You can use it
freely without side effects.

On a related note, did you know that you can enable ES 1 but still
have your program beep to alert the user to an error? That's the BEEP
command. Typically used with an > statement, it goes like
this:

>BX beepQ2 ...

Handy.
