It's frustrated me (and many others I'm sure) when dealing with Block Mode
stuff on the HP: "Now, since we're in block mode, you'll need to use the
Enter key instead of the Return key.  Uh, I mean, uh, not the key marked
'enter', that's the return key.  You'll want to be using the numeric keypad
'enter' key . . ." (with any luck, someone's remapped that to be "return" as
well and what they really need is F12 or maybe F10 or . . . :-).
