Now, as I probably will be unable to have my standalone detect whether it has ended up on a laptop or a desktop I need something that will 'DO' for both. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Some laptops provide the option to use multi-combinations (like Function+Enter) to trigger the Return key code (Fn = Function). I find that too annoying to do, so I've been redesigning some apps to eliminate distinctions between the two keys.

Richmond, on my short Mac keyboard, pressing Fn + Return is the same as Enter. I don't know what type of laptop you are talking about, but this might be the answer.
