Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is no OO equivalent for the $FakeEnt function.
This function can be used to prepare a "fake" ENTER key. That is, the next full screen read issued by Model 204 will automatically be satisfied as if the user had simply hit the ENTER key without entering any data.
The $FakeEnt function accepts no arguments. It returns a 1, if the user is on a valid full screen terminal; otherwise it returns a 0. As of Sirius Mods Version 6.8, it is a callable $function .
