Hi Steven,

Thank you for solving this problem.  I've checked that the above
modification works on my machine.  Please go ahead and install it to
the main distribution.  I suggest putting the Lisp definitions of
`return' in lisp/term/mac-win.el so the return key will work as before
for everyone.  It will also be useful to do the same for the tab and
escape keys.

Andrew.
