Recently someone posted a question regarding changing the accept key.
I have found that CONTROL-M works for ENTER on most terminals.

If memory serves the syntax is:

OPTIONS
ACCEPT KEY CONTROL-M

Be aware that the ACCEPT KEY will be set to this value from that point on and
must be reset to another value explicitly.

Hope this helps.

I'd like to suggest to the Keepers of the Language that there be some way
to query the value of these buggers, so one could for example, reset it back
to <previous value>. I kludged up a set of routines, push/pop_accept_key()
since (I find) it makes sense in certain areas to have it enter, sometimes
escape, and sometimes nothing (control-a). But as it is, there's now way to
know what it was before. :-(
