But both the IBM ?T's I use (an XT and an RT) *DO* have an Enter key on
the keyboard -- the "this time, for sure!" new IBM standard keyboard,
to be specific.  It only took them 5 years and a good hard look at the
DEC LK-201 keyboard, but they finally came up with a really nice
layout.  Now, if only my terminal emulator of choice (VTERM) understood
that all these swell new keys were there, and that it doesn't have to
use F7 through F10 as arrow keys any more...
