Has anyone been able to specify the return key in the translation
table of a widget?

I'm trying to change the way an asciiText widget responds to the
return key (normally just a newline) by overriding the default
translations with :

"<Key>Return:	my_routine() "

The XtParseTranslations routine seems to think this is the same as :

"<Key>R:	my_routine() "

In the Athena Widgets documentation (pg. 21 in mine), for Text widgets,
the defaultTextTranslation string specifies the return key to preform
the newline() function like this :

"<Key>Return:	newline() "

How come when I do it it doesn't work?

Any help would be appreciated.
