/PERMIT_INPUT="hot-key-defintion" Hot-key used to permit a watcher (who is not normally able to have keyboard control) to acquire temporary keyboard control through use of his REQUEST_INPUT hot-key. PERMIT_INPUT can be issued by the user being watched, or by a primary watcher who currently has keyboard control. To successfully grant PERMIT_INPUT, the user granting it must currently have keyboard control (via either SIMULTANEOUS_INPUT or TOGGLE_INPUT). If a PERMIT_INPUT request is rejected (due to not currently having control of the keyboard) then the terminal bell will beep. Once PERMIT_INPUT has been enabled and a watcher then accepts it (by using his REQUEST_INPUT hot-key), the watcher and the user who permitted him may either toggle input between themselves using their TOGGLE_INPUT hot-keys, or may both type simultanously if the PSIMUL qualifier (or default) is in effect for the permitted watcher. (See also similar data for NOBEEP under /PNOBEEP.) Once granted, PERMIT_INPUT can be revoked again at any time by issuing another PERMIT_INPUT. (The PERMIT_INPUT key toggles PERMIT_INPUT on and back off.) A PERMIT_INPUT granted by the user being watched is also revoked whenever the primary watcher (if any) toggles input. Likewise, a PERMIT_INPUT granted by a primary watcher is revoked whenever the user being watched toggles input. Thus input-ability gained through PERMIT_INPUT/REQUEST_INPUT is very temporary. The logical USER$PERMIT_INPUT specifies the default hot-key value for use when being watched. Note that PERMIT_INPUT and REQUEST_INPUT may be used to temporarily grant input-ability to a watcher who otherwise would not be able to gain keyboard control due to keyboard-control licensing-option or ALLOW-command restrictions.
