Good to see this in QCTerm also Wirt, it has always been a major bug
bear for users of the HP3000 in mixed Block Mode / Character mode
environments. It was why it was one of the first features we designed
and had Implemented in ScreenJet Emulator and V/PLus Graphical User
Interface. Although I think you will find as we did that it needs to be
a bit more sophisticated than Return always being Enter in block mode.
You might like to think about also implementing the contra setting as we
did in character mode, which is to take Enter as Return. Feedback from
customers seems to suggest that this is equally beneficial to users.

But believe me folks after using it for a week or so there is no way you
will want to go back to using a terminal or emulator that doesn't have
this feature.
