Whle this may be true, the Logitech keyboard I am using to type this in
fact says "Enter" both on the main keyboard as on the keypad, although
on the main keyboard it is written at the top of the key with an arrow:
<_| below it.

The NeXT keyboards I used have return on the main keyboard with enter
barely visible above it.

again: a relatively new Logitech keyboard: Ctrl

It obviously varies.
