$WW,1$A $FG,2$Char$FG$acter is a single byte holding an ASCII code for a letter, number or symbol.  The $FG,2$LoseThos$FG$ term is an $FG,2$I1$FG$.

ASCII values range from 0 to 127.  Values below 32 are control key's.  So, an ASCII #3 is a CTRL-C.  LoseThos uses a few nonstandard values.  In LoseThos ASCII #5 is the cursor location and ASCII #31 is a SHIFT-SPACE.

A $FG,2$Key$FG$ is typically specified with a scan code.  LoseThos scan codes contain the key value in the lowest $FG,2$U1$FG$, and flags in the upper bytes.  See $LK,"Scan Code Flags","MN:SCF_CTRL"$ and $LK,"Scan Codes","MN:SC_INSERT"$.

A $FG,2$String$FG$ is a bunch of ASCII characters terminated with a zero.
