tony is right.... if you go to the help file, then...
 The array returned is a list of all the characters. A key is currently pressed if the array element with the corresponding character is true. For example, the a key is pressed is chars ('a') is true. Note that each key is individually represented, so if the user has pressed Shift+a to get a 'A', then Input.KeyDown would register Shift and 'a' as pressed, but not 'A'. 
and this works for me
var chars : array char of boolean
loop
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if chars ('a') & chars (KEY_SHIFT) then
        put "hi"
    else
        put "bye"
    end if
    locate (1, 1)
end loop

ok, i figured out my problem, i had it set up wrong.
i had:
if chars ('a') then
...
elsif chars ('a') and chars (KEY_SHIFT) then
...
what u need is :
if chars ('a') and chars (KEY_SHIFT) then
...
elsif chars ('a') then
...
THe upper case letter MUST go b4 the lowercase letter
THx for your help, and esspecially to blade for makingme relize this.

-----------------------------------

if ANYONE knows how to detect caps lock via Input.Keydown they'll get 25 bits. (must provide source code)

lol if anyone finds out how to do that using turing... he'll get 100 bits...(knowing that it's impossible...)
