Hi, MathGroup, from a posting in this group, I learned about Format / OptionInspector / global / EvaluationCompletionAction and the possibility to activate Beep there. I found out, that in addition to the Menu shown, one can not only select Beep, ShowTiming or AddTimeStamp exclusively, one may also activate more than one of them e.g. by typing {"Beep", "ShoeTiming"} into the field after ------> . Note: each keyword has to be enclosed in quotationmarks, the whole thing must be a list (i.e. curley braces required). I often have to carry out lengthy computations and would like the beep then, but I dislike my computer behaving like a pinball machine and producing noise all the time. I would like to have the automatic beep after Mathematica is ready with a cell only, if the timing to be shown is e.g. larger than 10 seconds. Thus in general, I would be bothered only by the noise of my keyboard and occasional beeps after an error, but not after every glimpse-of-an- eye-computation. Any idea, how to achieve this?
