BEL char/command disrupts output in CMD, does not exist GUI #104

I'm not sure this is exactly a bug but it would produce a nicer output in the command line mode if this was handled differently.

The BEL character is displayed in the command line version. In CMD in Windows 10 it is shown as a blank line and a sound is produced. In PyCharm is it shown as a square but no audible sound is produced with my current setup. The character is not included in the GUI. It does not create a sound and does not interrupt the output.

E.g CLI from CMD - Sound produced and extra line added:

***************************************************************************
Test 16: Multiple line instruction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

Line 5

Press Enter to continue...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pycharm - BEL character included as a square/special char, no sound produced:

***************************************************************************
Test 16: Multiple line instruction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
�
Line 5

Press Enter to continue...

GUI - BEL Character not included and no sound produced by fixate:

I couldn't find a silent option to test the effect on the formatting. I would imagine the extra line is added with the BEL character when the call to create the sound is added to the output. If there isn't a silent mode implemented it could be a really nice addition for scripts that require a lot of user inputs.
