well, you're absolutely right - but looks like you've found a bug
in documentation.

Now I've re-chechked the source code, and I'm sure, this function
is discontinued. If you're expert in C, you can re-check too: the
affected files are callinput.c and getexchange.c.

In callinput.c, in line 503 starts the pressing of "ENTER" event
handling. You can see, there aren't any fork to start send
message, or start auto CQ mode. In getexchange.c, you can find
also the "case '\n':" line, and check the code.

Sorry for the old manpage - there is on my todo list, to review
the Tlf documentation, and make a good and usable on/offline
document for Tlf.
