Thanks. I'll put stackoverflow on my bookmarks. There is still a
difference, though. The program (as corrected below) prints out the
last sound heard as a hearing test, if you press Ctrl-C in Idle or the
Windows Command Console, but prints nothing if you use Option >
Restart Shell in Wing 101. Here's the corrected program if anyone
wants to test their hearing ;')

Oh, as a tip for winusers who have avoided the Win command console, I
also did because I thought you had to type in one line at a time. I
just found I can right-click > paste an entire Py program in (after
you start Python). The prog then starts after you hit Enter twice.
This is Win 7.

import winsound

try:
    for freq in range(100,32000,100):
        winsound.Beep(freq, 1000)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print 'last frequency heard was', freq - 100
    exit(0)
