1. How to capture return key in an edit control

I need to capture the return key when entered in a multiedit or richedit control by a user. I am a newbie with simple project I think I can complete if I can figure this out. So far docs,faq, and tutorials have not helped me accomplish this.
I am thinking about using maybe onchange , keyup, keypress, or keyget to check each key. But do not know enough about these to accomplish task.
Thanks for any help.

Does this help ...
without warning include win32lib.ew constant main=create(Window,"Capture ENTER key",0, 100, 200, 250, 150, 0), in=create(RichEdit,"",main,50,10,150,100,0) procedure esc(integer self, integer event, sequence params) integer keycode keycode=params[1] if keycode=VK_RETURN then setText(in,"<RETURN>") returnValue(-1) -- Make the app ignore this keystroke. end if end procedure setHandler(in,w32HKeyPress,routine_id("esc")) WinMain({main,in},Normal)
