EXTENDED ASCII KEYBOARD CODES

Certain keys cannot be represented by the standard ascii codes. To represent the codes, a
two-character sequence is used. The first character is always an ASCII NUL (0). The
second character and its translations are listed in the following table. Some codes expand to
multi-keystroke characters.

If an asterisk (*) appears in the Enhance Only column, the sequence is available only on the
Enhanced Keyboards (101- and 102-key keyboards).
