want, then click the name.

The sounds displayed in the box represent the sound files contained

System file is available as an Apple IIe beep.

When you release the mouse button, the selected sound plays.

After you close the Option Panel, your choice remains in effect until you
choose a different beep sound.

You can add your own beep sounds by using the Macintosh Sound
control panel and the microphone that came with your Macintosh LC.

On all Macintosh keyboards, holding down a character key causes the
character to appear repeatedly on the screen until you release the key.
You can adjust the rate of repetition from very slow to quite fast. (To turn
off the key repeat option, see the next section, “Setting the Delay Before
Keys Repeat.”)

The repeat rate you choose in the Apple IIe Option Panel is in effect only
while the computer is in the Apple IIe environment. When you switch to
the Macintosh environment, the repeat rate is determined by the key
repeat rate setting in the Macintosh Keyboard control panel.

The key repeat rate in the Apple IIe General Controls panel is preset to
the rate setting in the Macintosh Keyboard controls panel.
