I have a clue (partly) to what my problem is.  First of all, the Enter key
on the keyboard of the Mac is not the exact same as the Enter key on the
keypad.  On the Mac+, the Enter key (only one) is the same as the keypad
Enter key.  SmallTalk recognizes the Enter key from the keyboard, not the
keypad (it is assigned a different key code).  The question now is, how do I
bind the function of the keyboard Enter key to the Enter key on the Mac
Plus?  I can probably approach it from one of two ways:

1. Change what key SmallTalk wants to see in order to get the blue menu.
2. Alter an INIT resource in the system file in order to change the keycode
of the Enter key.

I don't know exactly how to do either of these - any hints?
