That's it. The up-arrow vanished more than a quarter of a century ago, and nearly everyone still found the ENTER/INPUT key, even on an HP-32S or HP-42S:-)

It was clearly distinctable from the other keys, and the manual told how to use it.

The up-arrow was ok in the early years, when HP thought people would need this kind of additional mnemonic. Nowadays the up-arrow would only be a reminiscence to the past.

The colon could be misleading, so better simply omit it.
Keep it simple, keep it ENTER;-)
