You would probably have to use Oracle*Terminal to redefine the Return key for the terminal definition file, or whatever Oracle calls it. This is generally how you remap keys. Whether you can remap Return, I'm not sure, but you probably can.
In Oracle*Terminal you map a Forms function to a key description and that to the physical key. This is what you will have to do anyway to give the "Return" key a new function.
No guarantees that you can do it with Return though....
