Post subject:  using the enter key in turing

for a program I'm making I needed to have the arrow keys used as input. I made a previous program that used similar code so I just used that as a template. Here is what's in my current program

var chars : array char of boolean
loop
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then
check := check + 1
exit
end if
if chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then
check := check - 1
exit
end if
end loop

So I'm using this to have the user move between options, but I want them to be able to push enter to confirm the option. putting ENTER in place of KEY_RIGHT_ARROW didn't work. How can I have turing recognize the user pushed enter?

Use KEY_ENTER. A complete collection of these constants can be found in the Turing Reference help file.
