Re: turn off automatic line insert when enter key pressed.

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Acknowledged that the arrow will do it, but I just can't teach these old 
fingers that many new tricks.  Besides that means my right hand needs to 
leave the home keys so it just adds that much extra effort.  Same with 
that infernal rodent ( mouse )  needed to do most tasks as well.

It's an alternative to consider, anyway.
