Description: Apple II, II+, IIe, IIc: ASCII characters, values & keystrokes
Header: Apple II, II+, IIe, IIc: ASCII characters, values & keystrokes

 The following table contains the ASCII codes generated by pressing a key or
 combination of keys on the Apple II, Apple II Plus, Apple IIe, Apple IIc, and
 Enhanced Apple IIe. The character names come from the American Standard Code
 for Interchange of Information. Certain peripherals or programs or functions,
 such as the BASIC function CHR$, may require the decimal values; certain
 peripherals or programs may require the hexadecimal values as well.

 The fourth column in the table below is for simple keystrokes or those made
 with the SHIFT key held down; the fifth and sixth columns are for those made
 either with the CTRL key held down or with both the SHIFT and CTRL keys held
 down simultaneously.

 NOTE: An asterisk next to keystrokes or character names means that
      the Apple II and Apple II Plus can't generate that charcter from
      its keyboard. The double asterisk indicates a special case.

 The comments column defines the non-printing ASCII characters.
