Sounds
[[Lists the available sound files that you can associate with program

used sounds located in that folder, the Sounds list includes sounds from
that folder.
You can search for sound files in other folders by clicking Browse.
Sound files for program events must be in Microsoft WAV format, a file
format developed to store and replay sounds on a personal computer. Their
names usually include .wav as an extension.]]

selected sound.]]
