Avoiding Keydown Reset

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

    
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars (KEY_ENTER) then
     boolean1 := true
end if

In a case like this, boolean1 becomes false as soon as enter is released.   there any way to avoid this, so the keydown works similar to a getch in the way that it actually gets the information "permanantly"?

oh?


var chars : array char of boolean
var boolean1 := false
loop
    Input.KeyDown (chars)
    if chars (KEY_ENTER) then
        boolean1 := true
    end if
    locate (1, 1)
    put boolean1
end loop

chars array keeps its values untill you call Input.KeyDown again, at which point values get reset.
