Subject:EventCodes and Keys

Hello,

This is probably really obvious, but when I'm scanning for a keypress event
(IDCMP $400) in a loop, and it detects one, how do I get the ASCII code of
that character?

I've tried EventCode, and it just returns the decimal equivalent of the
rawkey codes in the back of the manual. Short of creating a lookup table, is
there any way of getting the ASCII equivalent of this rawkey code?

Cheers,
GazChap.
