   /QUOTE = "hot-key-defintion"

   /QUOTE is used to specify a hot-key which when recognized tells
   Peek/Spy that the following keystroke is NOT to be interpreted as part
   of a hot-key sequence, but is to be passed through to the terminal as
   normal input.

   This allows the user to enter this hot-key and follow it with some
   other Peek/Spy hot-key keystroke which he wishes to pass to the program
   as input. (Of course whether or not it is passed to the user's program
   is still controlled by TOGGLE_INPUT, if input is not simultaneous.)

   The QUOTE hot-key should be entered by the watcher immediately before
   the hot-key keystroke which he wishes to pass to the user's process.

   The default hot-key value is taken from the logical WATCHER$QUOTE.

   Example:

         $ PEEK/QUOTE="<F7>"/BEEP_TERMINAL="<F6>" USER1
     or
         $ DEFINE WATCHER$QUOTE "<F7>"
         $ PEEK/BEEP_TERMINAL="<F6>" USER1

   In either case, if the watcher presses F6, the bell will be rung
   on the user's terminal. However, if he presses F7 followed by F6,
   then the F6 sequence will be passed to the user's process (if
   watcher keyboard input is enabled, see the PEEK Watching
   Subtopics: /SIMULTANEOUS_INPUT and /TOGGLE_INPUT, and the
   top-level PEEK Subtopic: Commands ALLOW /NOKB_CONTROL).

   For a complete description of the syntax used for specifying
   hot-key definitions, see the top-level PEEK Subtopic: Hot-Keys.
