In MPW (Macintosh Programmer's Workshop, the Mac OS 9 development

Return was 'new line' and Enter was 'execute the command on the
current line'. I've also used programs with dialog boxes where return
was 'new line' and enter triggered the 'ok' button.

This is the traditional distinction between Return and Enter in the Mac
world. Apparently, when we switched to System 10 they succumbed
to the PC world and dropped this difference.
