There isn't any. The ENTER key is a terminal function, not a character (that
is, it causes to the terminal to do something, not just transmit the
character you might have otherwise struck). But because it is a terminal
function, there is a way to initiate its basic function programmatically,
from the host, as there is with virtually all HP terminal functions. A very
similar functionality to the ENTER key can be engaged with the Esc d read
trigger.
