Yes, basically.  You need to use it in a loop.  Something like this:

Lbl LOOP
getKy->Z
If Z==11				(F1)
Then
commands
End
If Z==22				(EXIT)
Then
commands
End
Goto LOOP

You can substitute the 11 and 22 for the corresponding key number for the key
you want.  Here is a program that will let you figure out what the number is
for each key:

Lbl A
getKy->A
If A>0
Disp A
Goto A

Push a key and it will display on the screen the number for that key.  Push ON
to stop the program.  Hope that helps.
