   type:         character string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String containing the name of the key to be translated into a
   key code. The key-name argument is the address of a descriptor
   pointing to the character string containing the key name. The
   key-name argument is simply the name of the key (for example,
   COMMA, PERIOD, KP4, and so forth).

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Specifies the key code into which key-name is to be translated.
   The key-code argument is the address of an unsigned word that
   contains the key code.

   The key code is returned by SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE, SMG$READ_
   KEYSTROKE, SMG$READ_STRING, and SMG$READ_VERIFY in the word-
   terminator-code argument.
