First, wait_key returns an integer key code, not a sequence.
Second, open is a function. You must use it's return value somehow (i.e. by
assigning it to a variable).
Finally, the second argument to open is a string - here it's assuming that
there's a variable/constant
called r.
Here's a fixed example:
include get.e
integer bob, fn
bob = wait_key()
if bob='1' then
    fn = open("g1.ex","r")
end if
