Re: Problem with the RETURN key

[Brad Miller <bmiller@cs.umn.edu>]

I've had this same problem with the return key ever since I first tried 
to rebuild after going to 10.2.2
I think I mentioned it here at the time.
My setup is an 800MHz G4 tower.  I have a non-apple natural keyboard, 
so I thought maybe it had something to do with the driver for that.  
I'm glad someone else has now found the same problem.

return is not defined in my function-key-map.
Adding the line:
> (define-key function-key-map [return] [13])
seems to work.
