Input.KeyDown trouble

[harishmabish]

var carx, cary : int
carx := 350
cary := 250
Input.KeyDown (chars)
if chars1 (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
cary:=cary -10
end if

Pic.Draw (car1, carx, cary, picMerge)
delay (10)
View.Update
cls

That's a part of my code,

when i press the up arrow, the object will move 10 pixels down the y axis, but when i let go of the button, it goes right back to its normal spot. What's goin on here? am i missing something? it should stay 10 mp down?!

why would

code:

var carx, cary : int carx := 350 cary := 250

be inside a loop?

Make sure you are declaring and assigning your variables outside the loop.

Also, when you tell it to move down 10 pixels, just say:

cary -= 10

instead of:

cary := cary - 10

notice how chars1 isn't the same as chars
