If you are using Reflection, you should be able to just
hit (ALT-Return) and that should do it. Granted it is hitting
two keys (at once) rather than one key but this is how I have
worked around it.

At the last place I worked which was an Amisys site I ran into
the same problem but for a different reason.  Amisys does not use
block mode screens but it does often require a good amount of
number entry.  Since it is easier to enter a significant amount of
numerical data on the numeric keypad and just use that enter key
as a <return> key, we set the enter key (on the numeric keypad)
to be the <return> key on all terminals and PC's.  When we did
truly need to use the <enter> key for block mode screens
(like NMMGR) we had to use the ALT-Return keystroke as I suggested
above.
