Just a bit of a WAG, but I would guess this checks the condition code
(easily checkable against online docs, I suppose...) [actually, I just
checked the 5.5 laserrom -- there is a CCODE() function to return the
condition code]

character values " ", "*", and "8" have hex values 20, 2A, & 38
respectively (decimal 32, 42, & 56) -- none of these really make me
think "CCL/CCE/CCG", the three possible values the condition code may have
[I would actually expect -1, 0, & 1, but a quick check of mpe.h.sys reveals
these to be 1, 2, & 0 respectively (or, at least, for the "C" library...)]

How is .CC. being used in the code?  the ".xx." syntax usually refers to
comparison operators such as > and < (but for the case where the actual ">"
or "<" character is not available, such as on an early punch-card...)
