If it were an invitation to express a wish, here is the wish:
an opcode, or function, which returns the base frequency of a sample.
Something like:

           ibas   basef   sound.aif [,ibeg1,iend1]

Thanks anyway.

Could it beep or emit some other kind of audio signal (i.e. trigger a 
wave file) when 'compilation' is finished?

hello john,

actually skimmed the manual first this time. if in fact the answer really
isn't in it, kindly consider adding capability to call "srand" to enter
value of current time into seed in the rand family. perhaps the following
from NY Software Newspaper will better explain:

"ANSI C provides two functions: nit rand(); void srand (unsigned int seed);
rand returns a pseudo-random integer based upon some calculations on a
seed, so if the program is run over and over, the output will be the same
sequence of numbers. One trick that beats this is to call srand to seed the
random number generator with the current time."

now please don't go asking me any questions about this stuff 'cause i don't
program.

thank you for your consideration and continued efforts!
