Hi Terry,
    I never did program Christmas carols but I did do a Logon UDC in college (in
Nampa Idaho!  NNC hehehe ) that "sang" Happy Birthday.... to my then Fiancee on
11 May every year!!!

     The words would appear as the terminal beeped the music heheheh :)

     She claimed she couldn't decide if she should kill me or bake me cookies
:)

So we've had some animation (blinking lights on the original X-mas Tree),
I've added some "Rich Text Format", now if only someone can get a terminal
to beep "Silent Night"....:)

Many years ago, while at HP's DMD in Boise, we did this.  We converted
several Christmas carols (silent night was one) into the required escape
sequences.  Then we put them into the logon UDC.  You can imagine several
hundred terminals logging on in the morning (and then later throughout the
day), and no way to stop the music.  Suffice it to say it didn't last all
day (about 30 minutes as I recall).

BUT,  The MIS department was a very musical place once we learned that we
could "send" the file to other users terminals (to quote Art hehehe).
