You are right. It was an unreported bug. str should ahve been "" instead 
of " ":
-->str==""
  ans  =
   F

-->str==" "
  ans  =
   T

In Scilab 6, you are right as well: this bug has been fixed, but 2 
others appear. imo,
  * in string mode, <enter> should return str=="" with ascii(str)==[]
  * in numerical mode, <enter> should return str==[]. It was the case 
with Scilab<6. Now:
--> str=input("(Hit Enter):");
(Hit Enter):
--> ascii([])
  ans  =

The bug report may be completed.
Best regards
Samuel
