Not passing a return key or enter key.

[Glen Bojsza]

Hi Jacque,

Unfortunately I want to allow the user to use return key to enter the
minimum they want on the first two lines.

The first line they may want to use as a Title or description with one
or two words and then hit enter and give details. So autotab cannot
work here.

But I am glad you mentioned the pasteKey and may not work in the ide
... this would save me a lot of troubleshooting.

regards
