ORD_SPACE returns the ASCII value for space and is the same as ord (" "). ord() takes a character and returns the ordinal value. The reverse of this operation is chr, thus chr (ord ('a')) returns 'a'. This means that chr (ord (" ")) is equvilent to chr (ORD_SPACE), and so you could also use chr (ORD_SPACE). That's a little easier to tell what it is but i think having simple " " looks better. But now you know that the ORD constants return ordianl values whereas the KEY constants return the actual character, and thats why keys (ORD_SPACE) would not work.
