Normally if a user being watched tries to type when he does not have keyboard control, Peek/Spy will ring his terminal bell to inform him that the watcher currently has control of his keyboard. /NOBEEP keeps this warning bell from ringing on the terminal being watched. A default value can be specified in the logical WATCHER$NOBEEP. 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.
