   /QUOTE = "hot-key-defintion"

   Defines a hot-key sequence for use while being watched which, when
   recognized, tells PEEK that the user's next keystroke is NOT to be
   interpreted as a PEEK hot-key, but is to be passed through to
   the user's terminal instead.

   This allows the user to press the QUOTE hot-key and follow it with
   some other PEEK hot-key which he wishes to pass to his running
   program as input without it being intercepted by PEEK. (Whether or
   not it is passed to the program is still controlled by the
   /TOGGLE_INPUT sequence, unless SIMULTANEOUS_INPUT is in effect.
   See the PEEK Commands ALLOW Subtopic: /TOGGLE_INPUT.)

   The QUOTE hot-key sequence should be entered by the user immediately
   before a hot-key keystroke which he wishes to pass through to his
   terminal.

   The default value for ALLOW/QUOTE is taken from the logical
   USER$QUOTE, usually defined system-wide by PEEK_DEFAULTS.COM.

   Example:

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

   In either case, if the watched user presses F6, the bell will be rung
   on the watcher's terminal. However, if he presses F7 followed by F6,
   then the F6 sequence will be passed to the user's process (if the
   user currently has keyboard control).

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