That's the way it works now. In 4STK mode, the ENTER key executes the ENTER function, with the usual classic ENTER behavior of X duplication plus stack lift disabling, while in NSTK mode, the ENTER key terminates number entry mode if it is active, not executing any function, and executes the DUP function if number entry is not active. The idea being to emulate the ENTER key behavior as it exists on the RPL calculators.

Sorry, I guess I missed one of the hops of the bouncing ball... I say leave it as it is!

Has anyone come up with a meaningful (not contrived to make a point) reason why it makes sense to have these behaviors separated? Doing so will certainly lead to confusion and false error reports, whereas the two traditional modes (RPL-ish and RPN) will likely be comfortably used by fans of both religions without confusion.
