Missing Enter Key - was Using multi-line message box

[Paul Looney]

Andre,
I have not tried "Das Keyboard". I understand they have a newer model  
that has labeled keys (instead of all black). Still, why pay more for  
it than a genuine model "M" and get dome switches instead of buckling  
springs?
Have you tried it?
