That is because they are direct screen writes.  Jamal Mazrui wrote a 
little terminal emulation program that paints the string a second time 
and in doing so echoes the text to the terminal program causing speech 
to come out.  The problem is that this is DOS and secondly, there is no 
cursuring.  So the question mark goes through bios standard output and 
the at sign i a screen write.
