HELPLIB.HLB  —  PEEK  Watching  Qualifiers  /PNOBEEP
   This qualifier is for use with the PERMIT_INPUT and REQUEST_INPUT
   hot-keys which temporarily grant keyboard control to a watcher who
   would not otherwise be able to have it. (See the PEEK Watching
   Subtopics: /PERMIT_INPUT and /REQUEST_INPUT.)

   When a watcher has been permitted temporary keyboard control, this
   qualifier determines whether or not the bell is rung on the terminal
   of the person being watched when he tries to type after control of his
   keyboard has been taken over (and PSIMUL_INPUT has not been specified).

   As with NOBEEP, when the user being watched does not have keyboard
   control, his keyboard will just appear to "go dead" instead of
   beeping when he tries to type.

   The logical WATCHER$PNOBEEP specifies the default value for this
   qualifier.

   /PNOBEEP is provided in addition to /NOBEEP to make it possible to
   have a different nobeep value which applies only when one is a
   permitted-input watcher.
