A recording can be played back in two modes:
Background Mode
 In background mode, the entire recording is played back invisibly;
                              that is, all the actions of the recording are carried out without anything
                              being displayed to you on the terminal screen during the execution of the
                              recording. Neither can you interrupt a recording that is played back in
                              background mode (unless the recording contains the terminal command
                              %R).
                     
Step Mode
 In step mode, a recording is played back step by step, and all actions
                              are displayed to you. By pressing ENTER you proceed from one step to
                              the next. In step mode, it is also possible for you to interrupt the recording
                              by pressing the CLEAR key.
                     
By default, a recording is played back in background mode.
