Sure. Put some behavior like this on the text field sprite:

----
on keyDown me
end
----

This will trap keydowns, preventing them from reaching the field. If 
you want keyDowns to slip through the behavior to the field you do a 
'pass'. Thus, this bhv will do what you want:

----
on keyDown me
   if the key <> RETURN then pass
end
----


Good luck -A.
