I just bought an Apple BT keyboard, but the enter key on the keypad(10-key) never enters. What is up with that? I am trying to input grades in ezgrade pro and it is frustrating me. Also, it is frustrating because I use it a lot when web browsing because my right hand is closer to it because of the mouse usage.

Well, first let's see what the problem is: a bad keyboard, or a program that doesn't use Enter and Return interchangeably.

You can test the keyboard by using the Keyboard Viewer, which you activate by going into System Preferences -> International -> Input Menu. Then you can select Keyboard Viewer from the input menu, which is the menu near the right of the menu bar whose icon is a little flag. It will show you each keypress you make.

If Keyboard Viewer recognizes your keypress, then most likely it's the application -- some apps use Enter and Return differently.
