You may have gone ahead and done something else by now but this will play
the user's SystemExclamation sound:

--tested code
include dll.e
integer err
constant user32=open_dll("user32.dll"),
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION=#30
err=c_func(xMessageBeep,{MB_ICONEXCLAMATION})

If err returns FALSE then you could go ahead and play your own sound.
