Equivalent to the space character (ASCII 32).
Examples
"a" space "b" -- yields "a b"
put firstName space lastName into fullName
Use the space constant as an easier-to-read substitute for " ".

should probably be:
"a" & space & "b" -- yields "a b"
put firstName & space & lastName into fullName

If you want to trim white space from the start and end of a string, whether or not it actually exists:
put " fred " into tTemp put word 1 to -1 of tTemp into tTemp put fred --> "fred"
However this will not trim a string which only contains whitespace, e.g.: " "
put " fred " into tTemp put word 1 to -1 of tTemp into tTemp put fred --> "fred"
However this will not trim a string which only contains whitespace, e.g.: " "

@e.reicher: You are correct, the examples should have ampersands.
