curses and carriage returns

I just brought up a package called index on an sgi 4d running 3.2. The package
uses berkeley curses. By defining NOMACROS and a couple of other odds
and ends I have it up and running, with one problem. It ignores
carriage returns, and insists upon line feeds. The program is looking
for "\n". What do I need to tell curses to have the enter key mapped
to a \n? Characters are read in by getchar(), and the modes set
upon entry are noecho and cbreak. Adding nl doesn't seem to help.
Any hints would be appreciated. I could change all instances of checking
for \n to check for ^m also, but there must be a better way.
