[Coco] NitrOS9/BASIC09 equivalent SOUND and PLAY Commands

[pfitchjr at bellsouth.net]

Curtis, forgive me. I thought Nitros 3.3.0 was EOU. I now know it isn't.  I've downloaded EOU Beta 4.  Lets see what I can do with this.

SS.Tone (A SetStat call) can be called from BASIC09 with Syscall. If you are running the current NitrOS9 EOU, the GFX2 package also includes ‘Tone’, which will let you play a single not (ex. RUN gfx2(“Tone”,100,6,60), which lets you pick frequency, duration and volume).
