Please read the node `Translating Input' in the Elisp manual.

What is the value of `function-key-map'?  Mine says:

  (keymap (M-return . [-134217715]) (return . [13]) (kp-equal . [61]) 
(kp-divide . [47]) (kp-decimal . [46]) (kp-subtract . [45]) (kp-separator . 
[44]) (kp-add . [43]) (kp-multiply . [42]) (kp-enter . [13]) (kp-tab . [9]) ...)

Note the entry for `return'.  If it is not there, you can say something
like

  (define-key function-key-map [return] [13])

but this really shouldn't be necessary.  Are you sure you have a correct
installation?  Is the problem really specific to the Powerbook G4?
