The problem actually turns out to be due to an inconsistency between  
Gorm and
the gui. The Return key sends a keyboard event with character code 13  
(i.e.,
\r) in the gui (as well as in Cocoa), whereas Gorm uses character  
code 10
(i.e., \n) for the keyboard equivalent of the Return key. Obviously,  
Gorm
should be changed here, but as a short term workaround (until all  
Gorm files
are fixed), we might add code to NSButtonCell's -initWithCoder:  
method to
change a keyboard equivalent @"\n" into @"\r".
