I believe that you might do some magic with -keyDown: -- I'm sure that 
someone else will have more knowledge about this -- but bear in mind 
that the latest-gen MacBooks (of which I have one) do not have 
separate Return and Enter keys -- just one.  (Maybe the fn button 
changes it, but even if so, users would have to figure that out.) 
What about making alt-Enter/alt-Return add a newline, while leaving 
Return and Enter both to do the job of activating the OK button? Hope 
this helps, even if only a little!
