When watching a terminal, it is desirable to set the proper modes on the
watcher's terminal before displaying output from the watched terminal.
Ideally, the watcher's terminal should have the same modes set as the
terminal which is being watched. This ensures the output will display
correctly.
This is not a problem when using Peek/Spy's initial-screen-display
feature since the correct initial settings for the watcher's terminal
will be output to it as part of the initial-screen display.
However when the screen-saver is NOT in use by the person being
watched, it may be desirable to set some initial terminal modes on
your terminal before you begin watching. In addition you may also
want to restore your own terminal modes when finished watching another
terminal.
The Peek/Spy /INIT_SEQUENCE=() qualifier may be used to specify
an initial modes-setting sequence which is sent to your terminal just
before you start watching. The /FINISH_SEQUENCE=() qualifier
specifies a modes-setting sequence which will be sent to your terminal
after you finish watching someone.
Each of these qualifiers accepts a list of keywords. Each keyword
causes a particular sequence to be sent to the watcher's terminal.
