Is there an easy way, other than by comparing a copy of the field data
sent to the terminal with the field data received back, to tell if the
user just hit <enter> without changing anything?

It sounds like something I've used before, but completely forgotten
about.

You mean like the CHANGE() indicator? The problem with it is that if the
user changes a value to its original value (like "JOHN" to "JOHN"), the
indicator will still be set (because the field MAY HAVE BEEN modified.

I use LIKEDS data structures (old school now) and LIKEREC for this function.
Never at the field level.
