Curious! I've just looked it up in the manual and yes, it does say
(page 22) 
"Force page break:
". . in a default master frame . . by pressing Ctrl P (or by pressing
Enter on the keypad or choosing Misc>Insert>New page."

Ctrl P works for me, but not using Enter  - it just moves to the next
line. I'm using OvPro 2.77 and SA-VRPC RISC OS 4.02.

Curiouser still! I've just tried it on my old Kinetic RPC with the
same software (OvPro 2.77) but with RISC OS 4.03 and indeed pressing
Enter makes it create a page break.

My Windows version of OvPro acts like the SA-VRPC in that Return &
Enter both produce a carriage return.

I don't suffer from insomnia, otherwise I'd study the manual more.
