How do you shut off the beeps in vim?

[Randall R Schulz]

Chris,

Vim has extensive on-line help. Type ":help bell" for starters. There it 
will tell you:

"...  See 'visualbell' on how to make the bell behave like a beep, screen 
flash or do nothing."

That said, I just gave it a try and after issuing ":set vb" I get neither a 
flash nor a beep. Perhaps it's a termcap / terminfo problem or maybe I have 
my TERM set wrong or something. I've never tried the visual bell before 
(under Cygwin) and haven't had any other problems with Vim (or "less") 
driving my terminal properly. That is, no problems other than the 
disappointing lack of an "alternate page" capability to separate a visual 
program's activities from command-line output.

If anybody could tell me how to make that work, I'd appreciate it.
