Writelock
---------

 - Command: writelock ON|OFF|AUTO
     (none)
     In addition to access control lists, not all users may be able to
     write to the same window at once. Per default, writelock is in
     `auto' mode and grants exclusive input permission to the user who
     is the first to switch to the particular window. When he leaves
     the window, other users may obtain the writelock (automatically).
     The writelock of the current window is disabled by the command
     `writelock off'. If the user issues the command `writelock on' he
     keeps the exclusive write permission while switching to other
     windows.

 - Command: defwritelock ON|OFF|AUTO
     (none)
     Sets the default writelock behavior for new windows. Initially all
     windows will be created with no writelocks.
