You can easily find them yourself. :)  If you know what key or key combo
you're looking for, say, Pgup, use Msged -k (display scan codes) and hit
PgUp.  That'll show you "0x4900" and you can use \0x49 in your
macro for the PgUp function.  The docs are being improved.

 MC> 0x48

Replace all instances of "^m" with "^M".  It's case
sensitive now. ;)
