Tested in 8.2.01. Do not work on Uniface 7.2.6

Sound directory:

The sound directory specifies where the sound files are located. It is not recomended to use hard coded path information in proc.

The sound directory can be specified in the usys.ini paths section

[paths]

sounddir=c:\winnt\media

For instance:

sound/play "c:\winnt\media\tada.wav"

or sound/play "tada" if we have a default sound directory.

Note that when a sound file cannot be found Windows itself does a retry on the media folder.

Example

sound/play "c:\winnt\media\tada.wav"
