kp-enter in minibuffer

kp-enter in minibuffer

[Bob Babcock]

I often run emacs under Windows talking to Solaris using the 3.2.9 ssh.com 
client.  This client sends kp-enter for the enter key on the numeric 
keypad, and while other keys can be redefined, I can't seem to redefine 
this one.  Kp-enter is ok in most places, but it doesn't work when typing 
a command in the minibuffer.  Is there a way to make kp-enter mean the same 
as enter in this context (or a way to redefine what the key sends)?  
Thanks.

How 'bout

  (define-key function-key-map [kp-enter] [?\r])

Doesn't seem to have any effect in the minibuffer.  Emacs version is 20.7.1 
in case it matters.  Thanks.
