I tried a man beep and man flash and I get the following:

curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash rou-
tines

How do I use these in a shell script, or can I?

Thanks!

I dont think you can use these routines in a shell script. You would need to 'include' them in C or Perl scripts.

From a shell script you can use terminal manipulator like "tput", (tput bel), (tput blink), etc.
