I realize that but I couldn't remember if the enter key is a standard ASCII character or one added to MacRoman. After all, ASCII 3 is control-C, no? Thus the caveat.

By long-standing convention ASCII 3 can be entered from the console by pressing Ctrl-C but I'm not sure if there's an argument for saying ASCII 3 _is_ Ctrl-C nor what the implication of that statement might be. The actual name for character 3 is ETX - end of text - and it seems to me "Enter" is a reasonable key to send that code.
