I was wrong in my earlier flame about the DEC Rainbow keyboard, it does emit all the ASCII control characters. They are in strange places, and DEC keeps them secret. Here is a chart gleaned from a preliminary technical manual the sales office gave me: ASCII octal Usual Keyboard Rainbow Keyboard _________ ____________ ______________ 000 NUL ^@ ^SPACE 001 SOH ^a ^a 002 STX ^b ^b 003 ETX ^c ^c 004 EOT ^d ^d 005 ENQ ^e ^e 006 ACK ^f ^f 007 BEL ^g ^g 010 BS ^h BACKSPACE ^h F12(BS) 011 HT ^i TAB ^i TAB 012 LF ^j LINEFEED ^j F13(LS) 013 VT ^k ^k 014 FF ^l ^l 015 CR ^m RETURN ^m RETURN 016 SO ^n ^n 017 SI ^o ^o 020 DLE ^p ^p 021 DC1(XON) ^q ^q 022 DC2 ^r ^r 023 DC3(XOFF) ^s ^s 024 DC4 ^t ^t 025 NAK ^u ^u 026 SYN ^v ^v 027 ETB ^w ^w 030 CAN ^x ^x 031 EM ^y ^y 032 SUB ^z ^z 033 ESC ^[ ESC ^[ F11(ESC) 034 FS ^\ ^\ 035 GS ^] ^] 036 RS ^^ ^~ 037 US ^_ ^? 177 DEL RUBOUT DELETE (arrow with X) <X| Mel Haas , houxm!mel

The VT100 also uses ^SPACE for NUL.
