Scott,

The problem is that at the moment you press enter, the focus probably
is inside some sort of text field (JTextField, JEditorPane or some
other stuff). Now, these type of fields capture the enter key press
event and handle it. If you don't need enter, you should unregister
this keyboard action from the text field. You can do this for one
textfield or all. See the java reference documentation of the class
JTextField to find out how this is done.

Hope to be of any help.

Cheers,

Wim Van Leuven.
