    That's because the KeyDown and KeyUp commands don't take the ASCII character string but the VK Code for the ascii character.  You need to call a Win32API method to get this to really work properly.  Something like

    function testlp(value){
  var i;
  for (i = 0; i < value.length; i++){
    var chrK = Win32API.VkKeyScan(value[i]);    
    LLPlayer.KeyDown(VK_SHIFT, 200);
    LLPlayer.KeyDown(chrK, 200);
    LLPlayer.KeyUp(chrK, 200);
    LLPlayer.KeyUp(VK_SHIFT, 200);
  }
}
