Thanks, Dave!

I've never been able to find any chart that lists the keys in plain English, though (after doing an extensive search in Google)

I wonder how you missed my ASCII-EBCDIC page:

Note that those character codes are for Apple private glyphs which exist only in certain system fonts. Note also that a character code and a "key" code are totally different things, and that different keyboards generate different key codes for a number of keys.

There was an excellent desk accessory for System 6/7 called ASCII Chart+, which shows (interactively!) both character codes and key codes. I haven't tried to run it in Classic on OS X yet, but it works great in Mac OS 7.6.1. :)
