I'm fairly certain there's a nice table of this in the Turing help. Have you looked there yet?

yes, but it told me to put ORD_SPACE but that did not work

I belive your problem is that the ORD_SPACE can only be used with the "ord" command.

look up ord in the turing reference.

You need to use the key ID number. I think spacebar is 32, so instead of (KEY_SPACE) you do (32).

Turing:
myArrayCharOfBoolean (" ")

it should be single quotes

Turing:

myArrayCharOfBoolean (' ')

KEY_SPACE = spacebar
KEY_ESC = Escape
KEY_UP_ARROW = up arrow (same for other directions)
KEY_SHIFT = Shift key
KEY_ENTER = enter
('#") = any number that you use
('a') = any letter that you use (lower case)
Need any others?
