PJ,
Thanks for the tip.
I tried implementing the sound.m files as outlined on the Wolfram
support web site, but it did not work. The "sound" window would pop
up, but then nothing happened. The kernel just kept chewing away at
it. I did notice the the sound menu in the window was "grayed out".
My system came preinstalled with Red Hat Linux 6.0, so I do not know if
something was left out of the installation that motifps needs. If
anyone has any ideas on the fix, please let me know. I am new to Linux
and have no idea what to look at to try and fix it.
However the procedure below worked beatuifully if I changed the Run
command to "esdplay". Just thought others might like to know.
