The RETURN key is but one of many keys that do not repeat.  The keys are all
under program control so it is possible to selectively assign repeat to to
specific keys.  Deciding which should repeat and which should not was a design
decision based on tradition in the PC world and practicality.  It is possible
to create a new keymap with repeat enabled for the return key.  See the RKM
Reference Manual: Libraries and Devices for details.
