Well that may be a quick and dirty solution but that doesn't answer the
original question.  My PC speaker beeps rather quietly, but I thought
something was funny when I was not only back spacing but I think I was
hearing beeps when I was using the left and right arrow keys in a vi
edit session.  Was something added or is there a buggy some place?

I guess unloading the speaker solves it immediately but then you don't
have ths system beep available when you might otherwise want it.  Also,
I think for clarification the beeping heard sounds much the same as when
you wrap to a new line in case that helps debugging.
