alt Hacker NewsPerhaps a confused translation of escape/enter happening there? I don't think there's many (if any) PCs with both a return key and an enter key.

No, I definitely remember it behaving differently if I pressed "return" (right of "#" on the keyboard) vs "enter" (on the numpad).
EDIT: In the US I guess that's right of "'"? Below backspace, above the right shift.
The reason I remember is it took me quite a while to actually run the damn thing :P
My experience is with IBM AT and OS 2 which had a Return and a numpad with an Enter. The AT and Model M keyboard at least were part of a very popular and influential generation or two of "PC".

EDIT: Holy cow, those Model M pictures are so nostalgic.
