In actual fact, it is not really the problem with the ENTER key per se but with the program interpreting the key. A *lot* depends upon the application talking to the "terminal" that PuTTY is emulating. A lot depends upon how the data entry screen is organized. I've done a lot of curses()-driven applications and this issue is pretty clear to me. -- John R. Campbell Speaker to Machines souperb at gmail dot com Why OS X?
