that's cool, it's fun trying to only type 1 letter XD

1) Learn records, it will make things like this much more organized.
2) Learn flexible arrays, it will make the code shorter and faster. And allow you to make more than 1 text field easier.
3) Use View.Set() not Window.Open() when your only using 1 window.
4) Make it work with View.Update().

Try using this when getting the key values, this way you don't have to go through all 255 checking to see if they are pressed.
And it already has the delays for the key being held down.

Turing:

var key : char loop     if hasch then         key:=getchar         exit when key=chr(27)         put key,' ',ord(key)     end if end loop

It is also necessary to clear the buffer of any characters once done using it.

Turing:

loop     if hasch then         key:=getchar         text += ord(key)         Input.Flush    %% Don't forget this     end if end loop
