Spending too much time in the bathroom with Danny Goodman

For a variety of reasons I have a bookshelf in my bathroom.
Over the last 3 or 4 days I have been reading parts of Danny Goodman's
"The Complete HyperCard Handbook" for HC 2.2 that I have not read before
(about 75% of the book), and learnt lots of things that are relevant to
LiveCode
that I did not previously know or have forgotten.
{Earlier version:
https://archive.org/details/The_Complete_HyperCard_Handbook]
Anyway, I came across
on returnInField and
on enterInField
which I found (this must go down as the ultimate example of reinventing
the wheel)
are also "there" in LiveCode, which is marvellous . . .
But . . .
as the children I code EFL programs for (and an awful lot of adults)
treat the
RETURN key and the ENTER key as functionally equivalent I will either:
Have to endless reduplicate scripts for the RETURN and the ENTER key,
or, erm, find a way to do something like this:
on returnInField or EnterInField
?
