See the README (or TIPS) file: You have to use Control - Return. Enter is
reserved for the DefPushButton.

Solution:
	- Define a STATIC control with an ID 1
	- Insert the following statements in the command - case:
	  case WM_COMMAND:
		.
		.
		.
		if (wParam == IDOK) {
			/* send a WM_CHAR message with 0x0a as wParam
			   to your edit - window */
			return(TRUE);
		}

btw, the edit - window works fine if it is not child of a dialog - box.
Has anybody a better solution?
