Puzzling. In Rev there are two different message box configurations; the 
first is a single-line entry field and the second allows multiple-line 
script entry. The multiple-line entry field requires the enter key to 
trigger. The single-line entry field will accept either the return key 
or the enter key. In either case, typing the enter key should work though.

I've not heard any other reports about the message box not working, so 
I'm stumped. What happens if you just type this into the message box:

   answer "hi"

Does that work?
