The easiest way to make this happen is to edit the key map file.
The key map file is defined in /etc/termcap as KM=/some/path/name.

For example, the UnixPC's entry reads KM=/usr/lib/ua/kmap.s4

We have the exact problem that Ron describes with the 605 terminals.
The Enter key is out of the way, and defaults to sending a carriage
return, rather than a line feed.  To make things happy, we added
this line to the key map file:

	Enter		\r

If you want the return key on the Unix PC to work the same way as the
enter key does, you can add the same line to the file /usr/lib/ua/kmap.s4.

Enjoy.
