You can use returninfield and enterinfield for this, if you put the
following in the script for the field.

*on returninfield*
*   exit returninfield*
*end returninfield*
*
*
*on enterinfield*
*   exit enterinfield*
*end enterinfield*

as long as you don't pass enterinfield or returninfield the enter and return
keys will be ignored by the field.
