Using many keys at the same time

I would like to use many keys in the keyboard at the same time.

For example:

If I press the "a" key something happens. And if I also press in the "s" key something else will happen and så on. What I mean is that I would like to be able to press many keys at the same time and every keypress will result to an action independently from each other.

How to do that in Delphi?

I am using Delphi 5

Trap the OnKeyPress event for the form, check what key has been pressed and act accordingly. The OnKeyPress event occurs once for each keystroke.
Code:
procedure TForm1.FormKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
var
	ch : char;
begin
	ch := Upcase(Key);
	case ch of
		'A':
			DoSomething;
		'S':
			DoSomethingElse;
		'D':
			DoSomethingStrange;
		else
			DoDefaultAction;
	end;
end;
