Code below should fix it.
keypress do |key|
if key == "\n"
debug 'pressed enter !'
if @custno != nil
alert 'cust number has a value !'
elsif @custname != nil
para 'cust name has a value !'
end
end
end
keypress is a method which takes a block. I suggest you read the
documentation carefully.

Queer little twists and quirks go into the making of an individual.
To suppress them all and follow clock and calendar and creed until the
individual is lost in the neutral gray of the host is to be less than
true to our inheritance.
Life, that gorgeous quality of life, is not accomplished by following
another man's rules.
It is true we have the same hungers and same thirsts, but they are for
different things and in different ways and in different seasons.
Lay down your own day, follow it to its noon, or you will sit in an
outer hall listening to the chimes but never reaching high enough to
strike your own.
