alarm (system parameter in SURVO.APU): Parameter `alarm' gives the time in the form 09:15:30 for an alarm. When the clock of the computer reaches this time point, the user is alarmed by a beep and by a message ALARM!!! Press # The message stays until the user presses the # key. Survo alarms only when it is updating the clock on the top line of the edit field. Thus, an alarm may be delayed when a long Survo function is operating. Example: alarm=09:15 . An alarm can be set temporarily (valid during current Survo session only) by SYSTEM alarm=hh:mm:ss To set a permanent alarm, insert a line of type alarm=hh:mm:ss in the SURVO.APU file.
