Avoiding Keydown Reset

[Flea]

code:

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?

code:

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.

Oops... i dont know what i was thinking. For some reason i had always thought that as soon as the key was released the variable reset..

anyway thx good to know exactly whats goin on there, and i found what was wrong with my code.
