I'd like to hear a sound alert when Maple 15 (64bit version, on Windows 7 64bit) finishes the execution of a command.

For example, I have a very lengthy function to simplify. I use

simplify(function,size)

but it takes too long. It would be very helpful for me to hear a sound when this simplification finishes so that I can come back to see the result and go on.

Although I mostly post about parallel programming, my background is in algorithms and data structures.  I have a soft spot for sorting algorithms.  It probably started when I did some research into adaptive sorting as part of my coursework.  Anyway, someone added sound to visualizations of different sorting algorithms.  I'm not sure if it really helps explain the algorithms any better, but it does make them more interesting to watch.
