I want to write a basic little Morse Code key program to put into the

subtly suggest that Windows is sub-standard to nix-based OSes (okay, I'm
never subtle about pushing Debian to my fellow hams)), and it'd be ideal
if the code requires almost no overhead, so non-programmers can easily
grasp how it works.
You do know that there are already morse programs available in Debian?
Check the source.

Description: 'Morse Classic' is a morse-code training program for
aspiring radio hams
It can generate random tests or simulated QSOs resembling those used
in the ARRL test (a QSO
generator is included). There are a plethora of options to vary the
training method. In one of the
simpler modes, this program will take text from standard input and
render it as Morse-code beeps.
Last time I looked at this, it converts text into dits/dahs; that's not
what I want.
Thanks anyway, though!
