I've found that Enter keypresses (and indeed mouse-clicks sometimes) need to
be made, umm, firmly and definitely.  That is, they need to be held down for
a little longer than one would do under either native Windows or native RO. 
It makes double-clicking harder to do because one has to slow down the first
click to make sure it is noticed. 

I've assumed/guessed that what happens is that when the emulator gets cpu
time it doesn't look for keypresses immediately - maybe it's busy doing
something else, or maybe a windows keyboard buffer gets flushed before it
starts looking.
