Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
beep, flash: XCURSES4.2

DESCRIPTION
The beep and flash routines are used to alert the terminal user. The routine beep sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if possible. If
an audible alarm is not possible, the routine flashes the screen (visible bell), if possible.
The routine flash flashes the screen, and if that is not possible, sounds the audible alarm.
If neither an audible or visual signal is possible, these routines produce no results. Nearly all terminals have an audible signal (bell or
beep), but only some can flash the screen.
NOTES
The header file <curses.h> automatically includes the header file <stdio.h>.
RETURN VALUES
These routines always return OK.

Hello,
I'm trying to launch a few programs (primarily audacity) from buttons on a flash page. This is all on a local machine, and I am aware of the inherent security risks. From what I've been able to find online, AIR and Flex can launch executables in windows, but not in nix.
